My current OS is a Kubuntu 12.04, 32 bit version; since my hardware is at 64 bit, and with the next Long Term Support release approaching, I'm considering to upgrade with a 64bit over a 32 bit copy.
I have a setup with the /home
directory on a dedicated partition, so I don't need to setup everything again every time I upgrade my system.
I was wondering, if I choose to upgrade to 64bit, will I retain all my custom settings? I will be tempted to answer "yes", since these are high-level software customizations and not low-level settings used to dialogue with hardware, but I'd like to hear it from someone more expert than me.
