I recommend Kubuntu, only because of my disklike of the Gnome project.

Of course it is. Actually I have more than one (because I have multiple
distributions installed and don't let them share the /home). I alse
have backups, so if I do anything before having to reinstall from
scratch, I would try restoring a backup.
But the whole point of this exercise is for me to test whether I can
handle the bumps of Sid, so restoring or rinstalling will be last on my
list.
