Desktop environments and some programs (libre office,
browsers, that kind of stuff) putting their user configs
in your home might get confused should you plan to change
back-and-forth.

Most of the time they expect to upgrade their configs,
but not necessarily to downgrade.

The OS itself should be fine, though.
