So when I boot up in 12.1 it goes to a completely new install and none of my kde settings are there. But when I boot up in 11.4 everything works like before.
So how do I get my system to point to /home/george as my home directory and still have my login be "georgelenovo"?
I assume that if I can make that work, then all my KDE settings will be the same but I will be running 12.1 instead. After I make that work, I will delete the /home/georgelenovo directory.
The "obvious" answer is to make the entry in /etc/passwd on the 12.1 look like the one on the 11.4, that is edit the field that specifies the home directory. I'd use VIM[1]. Read the man page for /etc/passwd for details of which fields are which, but if you look at the two versions of the /etc/passwd file it will be glaringly obvious. Which makes me wonder how you changed the name on the 11.4 system in the first place. I'd have done it with VIM[1], myself.
