well, that is a bit of a simplification.
/home do not hold only user data, it holds also application metadata (configs, some logs...) that can't be safely shared between distros, even distro versions.
This is not true.
/home is a filesystem. It is not any user's home directory. That is /home/$something. The *purpose* of /home is to be shared by multiple users, each with their own subdirectory.
yes - but not a file system, only a folder
The complete path often should not be shared, that is correct. But so long as each version or distro has different user account names, sharing /home is perfectly fine.
I see this as unnatural, but if it fits your needs... and with different distros in the same /home, managing users permissions and groups can be complicated
That works too. In fact I normally make it an NTFS drive so I can share my data directories with Windows too.
there are problems copying files between linux and ntfs (incompatible characters in names) but he whole thing is the same for you and me, only variants of jdd -- http://dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
