What's the least painful way to reinstall Manjaro and get back all the settings?

If you have your /home in a separate partition:

  • don’t format that partition,
  • Format your / and re-install whatever you need there
  • then just mount the unformatted /home in your new installation.

Otherwise, you have to:

  • back up all of your configs/documents from /home
  • Restore them to the new installation.
    • ensure you split / and /home when re-installing.
