In theory, yes. In practice, YMMV. I always now systematically rename my
LO user profile before installing a new version, then install the new
version, start it once, and then replace the user profile created with
my previously backed up one. It sucks that one should have to do this in
order to preseve one's settings. I know of no other app where this is
the case.

It is the same on Mac if one uses the Terminal.app ;-), but there's no
real need to do so in such a case, the GUI is just fine ;-)
