Wish an Upgrade Guide for Zorin 15.x to 16

Wouldn't it be nice to have an Upgrade Guide for Zorin OS 15.x to 16?

I don't think of the (maybe coming In-Place-Upgrade possibility) but more of a guide that exactly describe what steps to reproduce to make the upgrade from 15.x to 16 by saving xxx folders and subfolders and how to re-write them in the new installation after the basic setup of Z16 is done.

There are so many corners with settings and configs that it is not quite obvious which ones are nescessary which ones are obsolete and how to make the way from 15 -> 16 save and fluently.

Thanks!

I don't think that ~/homedir is enough.

e.g. /etc/fstab is containing links to NFS and SMB shares, pointing to credential files
misssing cifs-utils and so on and so on.

For OBS Studio you need entries in modprobe ...

So the working OS at the moment consists of more than only the settings in users home folder i think.

Maybe i'm wrong but it would be nice to have a collection of hints what users should be aware of before formating the root dir.

Regards
