How to import data from ActivityWatch into new ActivityWatch database? #263

I am going to switch Distros(also switching DE from Gnome to KDE). What is the best way of preserving the data I've saved up until now? I haven't switched yet, so I could either

  1. Use the import functionality and download the json files.
    The issue: I looked through the documentation, and I didn't see any clues on how to export it back to the new database if I redownload activitywatch on the new distro.
  2. Copy the database file, and just paste it into the same directory, once I redownload activitywatch on new distro.
    The issue: no real issue. I'm just wondering if this will produce any unintended consequences?

Which one is the best option?
