Other than documents and files I've created, what do I need to backup to keep the new MX 23 install? I just don't want to forget anything.
Thanks!

You can run "User Installed Packages" (from menu) before & after (to list then to reinstall on 23)

Thanks, better than writing them down!

Any fonts, icons and themes that you installed by pasting into the relevant dot folders in your home partition?

And other useful dot (hidden) config files/folders. Eg your .mozilla folder.

I can re-install the themes, but didn't think of my mozilla folder, thanks. I've already backed up my emails so that's good.
