Replace One Linux Distribution With Another From Dual Boot [Keep Home Partition]

If you have a Linux distribution installed, you can replace it with another distribution in the dual boot. You can also keep your personal documents while switching the distribution.

In this tutorial, I have a Linux Mint dual booted with Windows. Linux Mint has separate root and home partitions. I replace Linux Mint with elementary OS keeping the Home directory from Linux Mint as it is.

This way, you switch Linux distribution without losing files. Of course, you must have a separate Home partition beforehand in order to do so.

If you have questions or suggestions, please feel free to ask.
