Thanks for answers!
First of all I could't find the 'location bar'. However, I did notice it when I had it in full screen. Because I hoovered the 'top bar' so that 'Go' appeard. And good suggestion to export and import the description.

If you are restoring the wallet from the seed words, I don't think you should need to mess with the Electrum files in this folder. You can just create a new wallet and restore from seed and it should do the rest. You would only need to do this to restore contacts and labels if these are something you need.

I don't get my description if I restore my wallet with a seed (of course). Where is the folder located to restore the wallet? Electrums docs says "Go -> Location and type ~/.electrum". It's probably obvious but I dont know where to type that in Ubuntu...

It's an hidden folder, with ubuntu you open the file manager, go to your home folder and press CTRL+H to show hidden directories and files.

I am in Windows now and I am about go sleeping but it's super easy. Open the Computer tab and go to the long box and copy paste ~/.electrum there.

In the picture below I find in google just to give you an example where you should type it.
