I’m on Linux for a couple of years and I love it. Distrohoping never interested me though, I’m content with my flavour. But I need to reinstall my OS soon and it gives me headaches. So many settings I changed, applications I installed, configured and forgot about.
Now I read about all you guys constantly distrohopping for fun, how do you even do this? Do you start from scratch, explore everything and leave after months of putting in all the work of making an OS your own!? Or do you just casually check it out a couple of days? What do you do with all your music, pictures, addons, portable software?
It might have to do with my being an old fart, but having at least home on a separate disk or partition seems like basic stuff. I’ve always done it that way.
Of course back in the day, everything had its own partition.
Yeah, I like
/varto be in it’s own partition so I can keep my system(s) under close control, and a separate/bootseems to be necessary these *EFI days
