Ubuntu 18.04 has KDE plasma 5.12 and the other Debian 11 has KDE plasma 5.20. Is it okay to log in to one OS then reboot into the other OS using the same nfs mounted /home? Or are the KDE plasma config files in users /home dirs not compatible?

Easy enough to test by creating a fresh and sacrificial user account and test things out. Also, iirc the usernames as well as the uid for that name need to be identical between the two OS, for file/directory permissions and ownership compatibility. claydoh, proud to be a member of KDE forums since 2008-Oct, and KDE user since 2001
