KDE Neon: How do I copy system settings to use them on another computer? [on hold]

.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}

I am using KDE Neon with KDE5 on two notebooks and want to share the system settings of my notebook with my other one.

How do I do that? I guess I need to copy some files, but which ones?

Thanks

copying all of /home is heavy-handed but will result in exactly what you want.

this is theoretic but also seriously backed by user-experience.

Under hidden folders I find .kde .config. I guess there should be better solutions within these two, because there may be entries that get broken because of different id's like computer name / username / whatever.

well this is the general approach the majority of linux users use. they actually make /home a seperate partition this way they can reinstall the new system and it will use the existing home. as for changing usernames it's convinient to just never change username but that doesn't mean you can't. You could either change your new system's username to match that of the old or vice versa you just run a script that replaces the every place in home it finds the old username with the new. out of the two I prefer the solution where you don't change username.

Have you actually tried your answer with two machines both having KDE Neon on them? If it's just a theoretical suggestion, please edit your answer to make that clear.
