  • I left work early one day and was driving home on some back roads. I got behind a jeep that started to slow and drift into the other lane. He kept drifting and went off the road, jumped the bank and went into a very deep quarry pond. I heard a splash and pulled over and called 911. While on the phone I heard a yell for help and hung up (I didn’t think to stay on the line until after) and ran across to find this guy barely treading water. I swam in and helped him to the bank and talked to him until the emergency services arrived.

    Turns out he had some severe internal bleeding and passed out driving. The cold water woke him up, but he was too weak and disoriented to swim.

    If I would have left work 5 minutes earlier or later, or if he didn’t have the top off on his jeep, he would have died and nobody would have known where. The pond was deep enough that even the vehicle wouldn’t have been found.


  • It’s going to be a total re-install, so that depends on what kind of setups you have. Not really different than switching to/from another distro.

    Bazzite ships with KDE, so you could likely copy your themes and customizations for that pretty easily.

    Bazzite is fedora based, and doesn’t use apt, but you can use distrobox like I mentioned in my post to get familiar ubuntu packages, if there are things that you need to be not flatpaks. You also can probably copy config files from non-flatpak apps into the flatpaks for most apps. I did this with my Cura configs. It may depend on the application.

    Basically, I just backed up my user folder (~/) and pulled any configs out of there. You could just back up ~/.config and ~/.local but with ubuntu there are likely some things in a snap directory and such. Mainly ~/.config and ~/.local, but some applications may use other directories, like snap, etc.
