I agree about niggers and the propensity for SJWers to be Woke-Clever and name shit after afro stuff. And the little afro-drum beats in the sound system for events. I put in different sound scripts for everything I could find to eliminate afro-sounds. Now I use "Abba-Zabba Chuck-a-spear" for my email alerts for instance. Deletion of emails is accompanied by "mothafukka I don tole u dat u gonna be dead". I do the voice-overs myself since I can do a really good afro-ghetto accent. If I could post a sound file here you could copy and use them.

Everything should still be configured. Upgrading, to my knowledge, doesn't nuke the home directory, which will be where all the configuration files for the login session are stored.

I suppose the only problem you might run into is if the new kernel version provided in the upgrade doesn't support the driver package for the printer/wifi card, if the drivers weren't included in the kernel and required a separate package in order to operate. This is why I prefer rolling distros.
