upgrade from netrunner

[fabrice]

I am using netrunner 14.2, and I am wondering if a upgrade to Maui will be possible soon? or just not possible (I guess)
Thanks

Probably not, Netrunner 14.x was based on KDE SC 4 (Plasma 4).
Maui is based on Plasma 5.
These two DE are technologically very different from one another.

Any tips for upgrading from Netrunner 17?

Maybe it's possible to reinstall only the / directory?
And let user directory /home as before (do not format it). But not sure...

Why not backup your home directory to a USB drive and reinstall.

install Maui from scratch? Yes, this is the best way to begin with this new release...
Just to understand I have a question:
I understand that Maui is based on KDE neon: I would like to know if KDE neon is just a graphic layer, or a distro, or both of them?

Any tips for upgrading from Netrunner 17? New install is no option on two of the PCs I maintain! Home is not the problem but anything else.

The answer to that question is here: https://neon.kde.org/faq

Can someone please post the maui sources lists?

/etc/apt/sources.list is empty (at least for me).
But there are several files in

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/

neon.list

Code:

deb-src http://archive.neon.kde.org/user xenial main

official-packages-repositories.list

Code:

This is from a brandnew install.
And by the way - home can be a problem - I just reinstalled maui to see if the system freezes, that appeared when i copied a few of my old program settings to the new home-folder - will appear if i don't do so.

Be careful.
