New to ubuntu MATE, currently on 17.10 and considering a new install of 18.04.
How well does settings carry over?
I've adjusted my desktop and theme quite a bit and installed a custom icon package. My /home is on a separate partition that I wouldn't format.
thanks!

Most things can be copied to your new install. For example your
$HOME/.icons
$HOME/.fonts
$HOME/.themes
$HOME/.wallpapers
can be copied without problems, and used on your new install.
If the icons are not stored in $HOME/.icons, but e.g. usr/share/icons, then you will have to copy them from there (mind your permissions!).
Some people also copy over their other $HOME/.* directories (e.g. $HOME/.config, $HOME/.local which holds your panel settings for example), and although that can work well, it might not go without ripples.
