Will Upgrading from Ubuntu 17.10 to Kubuntu 18.04 Erase my Data?

Hello AskUbuntu community, I recently installed Kubuntu onto a bootable drive and tested it out and I really enjoyed it. Before upgrading I would like to know if I would lose my data.
I am currently running Ubuntu 17.10 with the Plasma KDE and I am not sure if moving from Ubuntu to Kubuntu will remove my settings. I have spent some time modifying my themes, packages, and other system settings that I would like to keep.
Thank you!

Keep in mind upgrades are mor complicated than fresh installs and more things "break". You should do a trial upgrade on a copy of your data first and test everything you can think of.

Updating Kubuntu to 18.04 will not destroy your data or settings. In fact if you have installed the kde-desktop package you are already using Kubuntu. However, as with every update it is prudent to take a backup before updating.
