What I would do is use another system and as root show hidden system 
files, copy fstab to home, delete all system files leaving home, as user 
delete system files in home including hidden. I leave mail and browser 
files, your choice what you want to leave. Using a net-install including 
non-free-firmware I do a core install, using the same file system and do 
not format, reboot the system and apt install what I need and then setup 
my desktop. That's what I would do.
