This began as "printer again" and I mentioned a number of crashes. I have decided to start over, i.e., loading a new version of OpenSUSE-TW. I obviously would like to save as much of my own files and apps as possible. I've never done this before, so I don't know what I have to do.
gparted shows some Windows partitions, then /dev/nvme0n1p6 as ext4 / and /dev/nvme0n1p7 as ext4 /home mount point shows as /run/media/doug/4640427543C81F7S The / and /home are formatted ext4, and I want to keep this formatting.
I would prefer you to paste the result of:
lsblk --output NAME,KNAME,RA,RM,RO,PARTFLAGS,SIZE,TYPE,FSTYPE,LABEL,PARTLABEL,PTTYPE,MOUNTPOINT,UUID,PARTUUID,WWN,MODEL
/snip/ (I have not yet deleted eset.)
Ok, I took some time to straighten out the output, for correct interpretation.

Ok, that's an external disk and a DVD. The important part is here:

Ok, so you have to be careful not to touch partitions 1 to 4. Partition 5 baffles me, I don't know what it is. There is a strange "/" in the output. Partition 6 is the root "/", which will have to be formatted during installation, if you choose to install. Partition 7 is /home, and you have to be careful not to format it. Just use it intact. Partition 8 is swap. It doesn't matter if you format it or reuse. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
