No, not really. It's not lots of data, it's things like settings. On any given day, I have 50 tabs open - and those tabs are all used and are opened by default.
I have a dozen email accounts, all with special settings, so I have to transfer all the settings and shit like that.
Big data isn't even stored on my devices. That's all stored to a central server (ideally, and as a general rule).
Thats what I thought, I remember you telling me that you had central storage so I was wondering why it would be a pain, but now I know
I have a few browsers, each with their own tasks, a lot of 'em logged into various accounts.
Fortunately, I can usually copy over the files stored in the .config folder and maintain my settings and all that shit, like all my FTP accounts to manage the dozens of servers I rent/own.
I could have just copied the hard drive, but I wanted to use Linux Mint for a while - at least on this device. Linux is awesome like that. I can literally take the hard drive out of the old computer and plop it into this one - and have a reasonable expectation that it will work completely fine with no intervention needed on my behalf.
But, I wanted to switch to a new distro for this device. I have enough devices with Lubuntu on them.
Now you can find bugs in that distro
