I recently became interested in using operating systems or software in the most vanilla way possible!! Without changing anything, just getting new files and other stuff. I’ve changed a lot of things from Ubuntu (for example uninstalling Rhythmbox and getting VLC) and I honestly want all the Ubuntu GNOME vanilla software back, even wallpapers and etc, how can I do that?? Please, thank you!! >u<

    Nearly all settings are stored in .config in your home directory. It’s a hidden directory so you may need to find that option in your file browser.

    Rename .config to something else, .config_old for example, then reboot. The system will notice the lack of config files and generate new default ones.

    Some settings are stored elsewhere like .local/share but this should reset most of the settings while still allowing you to restore the old configurations if needed.
