Swapping from Neon to Maui without reinstalling - LukePerry - 8th December 2016
Hi All!
I am Neon user and have to say I am quite happy with this new KDE distro. I haven't experienced any important problems so far, people are quite friendly and helpful in the forums and updates come quite fast.
I have been a Kubuntu user during the last 5 years and decided to swap to Neon after experiencing several issues with Kubuntu 16.04, which it was the right decision. However, I wasn't aware about Maui at that time. I love KDE but am not that much of an enthusiast who needs to get the latest updates as soon as possible. I believe Maui would be a great distro for me, balancing between the best of KDE and stability. I am using KDE neon 5.8 and would like to change to Maui without having to do a re-install. Would it be possible to simply do this via changing the APT sources and a few tweaks?
Many thanks,
Luke

We never tried that. If you have a backup and want to try it I would recommend getting the our sources.list and try running an sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install maui-desktop and see if it works for you.
You can find our current sourceslist called official-package-repositories.list here: https://github.com/maui-linux/maui-apt-config/blob/master/etc/apt/sources.list.d/official-package-repositories.list

Hi Leszek,
Thanks for your quick answer.
To be honest I am quite happy with Neon and do not have any problem with Discover package manager, drivers, propietary codecs etc... and was just being a bit curious about Maui. I have made several configurations to the system and do not wish to take the risk of having to reconfigure it again. Maybe someone could try it out and share it here.
Thanks,
Luke
