It is not only for upgrades. It also facilitates: * backup and restore
Backup and restore is best served by using btrfs' incremental backup features
* performance optimisation (OS on SSD, home on disk)
This is not true, the current behaviour of our partitioner does NOT support OS on SSD and /home on disk
* repair, troubleshooting, data recovery, etc.
Having a single filesystem is bar far easier to repair, troubleshoot, and recover data from. Speaking from experience, having to worry about half a dozen partition boundries when recovering data from a broken hard disk is an absolute nightmare
* multi-boot between different versions of a distro * multi-boot between different distros * arguably, multi-boot between different OSes
All of which are fine reasons for users who care about those use cases to click the tickbox to have a separate /home But none of those are valid as the 'default' usecase for openSUSE - we don't support installing multiple versions of the distro alongside each other, nor do we support parallel user of /home from multiple distros - no way your /home dotfiles will be kept sane in those cases. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
