I use UbuntuStudio 18.04.1 LTS, with all the Gnome desktop enviroment ("by my hand" installed with Synaptic).

I wonder if there is a simple way (line command) to get a full, whole system reset to its factory settings, without to have to install it from the Live CD.

Why I don't want to install it from the Live CD? Simple... Unfortunately, the home directory would be lost if I do that, and I have a lot of personal data in that directory.

BTW: I think future versions of Ubuntu should leave the user personal data (audio, video, image, text, etc) in another partition, by default, to avoid this issue. Just an Idea.

So... Is there some simple command to reset the whole system to the factory setting parameters?

There is a way to get what you want.

  • Copy the home directory to a separate disk
  • Reinstall Linux
  • Mount the disk with your home data under /home

Exactly what you suggested, not for future Ubuntu versions but for your future installations.
