Typically you keep you /home on a separate drive or partition. Your /root and /swp are on others. When you install the new OS you do custom partitions and mount options install the OS on the root then mount /home to your home partition/drive.
You’ll still have to install the applications again, but all of your configs and history is still there. It feels surreal the first time you do it.
