[QUOTE="shmu26, post: 990580, member: 37647"] The only major distro I know of that requires reinstallation is MX Linux. However, even with MX you can keep your home folder, which saves half the work (or more). Mint does not require reinstallation. That said, upgrades sometimes can cause issues, or can fail. A reinstallation is always better. Copy your home folder somewhere else so you can reuse your settings for certain programs that you customized. [/QUOTE]
