going from linux mint to fedora because i really miss gnome, and i would like to keep my data and games from lutris. 99% of my games are just gog installers running from wine and preinstalled steamunlocked games, so i doubt it'd be too hard to get it all back but to save some time i'd really rather do this. i can't find shit on google or youtube since SEO and Ai garbage has just flooded everything, and looking for anything via youtube search is just a futile mission. does anyone know how to do this process? thanks in advance, everyone have a great day!

BTW, your home doesn't even have to be on its own partition for that. You can just as easily delete everything except home from the drive and install the new distribution. Never found one that couldn't work with that.
