Hi,
would you please test my script for migration v1.2 it is setup for
Debian with Gnome DE as this is the more systemd tied DE and
therefore a better test bench to detect problems. I think it could be
easily adapted to XFCE, Mate, Cinnamon or LXQT .
Advantages are: 
1) you never loose network
2) no mass packet deinstall and reinstall
3) Just one reboot to console (which could be automated, I suppose,
    to run a few more commands)
4) Fully working DE at next reboot


Contras:
 1) the reboot sequence is somewhat brutal and could be improved
       (any reboot gurus on the list?)


If there is some interest I can make a XFCE version.

Ciao,
Tito
