You are right, though some of those files are handy to keep
around. For example the .gimp(version#) folder stores extra
brushes you add, same with some other art programs.<br>
.filezilla stores your access passwords, etc.. .thunderbird
stores your mail, and passwords<br>
<br>
and so on. So knowing which ones to delete and which ones to save
is better.... but yes, when in doubt delete all your config files
if something is broken<br>

<div>Hi,<br>
I agree with Aere, this is especially true if you use
multiple DE. I have not really had any problems using
the same /home for Lubuntu installs, as nothing
drastically changes in Lubuntu... though, the shift to
LXQt may prove to negate this one day. So, I think if
you are using ONLY Lubuntu the upgrade should be just
fine with /home on a separate partition. I have never
had any issues with it... but I have only used Lubuntu
since around 11.04. Previously I had only used Gnome,
and XFCE.<br>
<br>
Gnome has had issues occasionally with this problem,
though it could be that I do some intense things to my
computers and sometimes hack around in things normal
users do not need to ever.

Beware in doing this, if you use the same
/home partition for different Ubuntu variant
system partitions. The configuration for
one Ubuntu variant, may be very wrong for
another Ubuntu variant. <br>
