Is there easy way to reinstall my OS? (lemmygrad.ml)

So I have now been planing for several months to reinstall my OS that I have run for a year or so. I have few reasons for this: Firstly there are some bugs that occur randomly, like file explorers taking a long time to open a directory (it has happened on every DE and file explorer that I have tried). There are also other minor bugs that are in the DE or deep in the system. Secondly I don't particularly like Pop! OS and Debian just sounds very appealing.

So is there easy way to switch or do I have to download my home folder and other config files from /etc and other locations to another disk and then move them back? That sure sounds like a lot to check and remember.

Info that you may need: The whole system is in one partition and it isn't encrypted.

That would be nice, but I would line the new disk to be at least as fast as that I have now and those fast ssd are quite expensive.
