Hey folks!
I’m about to distro hop (again) to test Tumbleweed for a longer period of time 🦎 However, something i’ve not done before is to have my /home directory on a separate partition, should I? If I do it, should it be a different filesystem than the rest? (Been reading on OpenSuse TW forums and seen people mentioning that they use BTRFS for /home and XFS for the rest, or the other way around. Are there any benefits of using separate filesystems, or is this done to get the BTRFS backup for the /home dir?
What are the pros and cons of doing these changes to my system, lemmy know :)
True.
Honestly with the invent of flash drives, Networked drives, and other such solutions, it makes less sense to have a dedicated home partition. I usually blow it away with a new system as an excuse to get rid of all the old documents I dont need anymore. Although back in the day, I got rid of an entire bitcoin once…not recoverable. Ouch.
