Also interestingly, other Linux distros don't do a separate /home folder, so apparently there are reasons both ways.
I use lot of data (photos and video files), so my work is a bit different.
I'm sort of like that. My personal life involves a lot of photography (not videos), my professional life a lot of documents, many wikified, and a lot of papers as PDFs or presented as PDF versions of presentations or as e-books of papers or e-books of presentations. So what's under /home/Documents, /home/PDF, and /home/Photographs is very extensive. Extensive enough to be on individual "partitions". They could, given compatible file systems, be mounted for different distribution, if I were running different distributions.
When I can I use a different partition for /home, but it's not really important. What is important is to never use the same /home for various distros/installs
But the idea of having to have different /home/ and hence different /home/anton for each distribution bothers me. Why?
/home is the home of . files, with the applications config. When version change, keeping config is scary, specially if go back and forth.
Scary, frustrating, irritating. Why?
