Is there easy way to reinstall my OS?
So I have now been planing for several months to reinstall my OS that I have run for a year or so. I have few reasons for this: Firstly there are some bugs that occur randomly, like file explorers taking a long time to open a directory (it has happened on every DE and file explorer that I have tried). There are also other minor bugs that are in the DE or deep in the system. Secondly I don't particularly like Pop! OS and Debian just sounds very appealing.
So is there easy way to switch or do I have to download my home folder and other config files from /etc and other locations to another disk and then move them back? That sure sounds like a lot to check and remember.
Info that you may need: The whole system is in one partition and it isn't encrypted.

Thanks for all the tips. I am going to copy my home directory and some of the /etc files that I have modified to another drive. I also made a list of apps and packages that I need to indtall. I am going to install debian and hope that everything goes right and that I didn't miss anything.
