Hello,
I have been enjoining Maui since V1 (and Netrunner before that). As I changed computers I did not upgrade to 2 but did a fresh install of 2.1 which took only few hours to get it where I wanted it to be. Only since then I have been trying to install other programs from the repro (Kipi plugins) and I lost Gwenview in the proccess without being able to get it back due to broken packages. I spend an afternoon rolling things back and getting Gwenview working again (no kipi still)
Seeing the time I spend my main question is that I am feeling it maybe better and faster to reinstall. If your advice would be the same I would like to know if backing up my home directory and copying it back after reinstalling the new version would be enough. Or are there other things to consider.
Thank you so much for your advice and guidance.
