    Well if you’re moving from Windows, you can just nuke the entire thing with automatic partitioning and it feels so damn good

    But since that was a long time ago, these days I keep my / and /home on not just separate partitions but separate drives since all my SSDs are only 1 TB. The installer can do whatever the hell it wants to / but /home has to stay untouched.

      What junk can you possibly fill multiple TB drives with? I have a mini desktop with a TB drive and it’s only got about 7.5 GB on it. And I think that’s a lot. My pathetic little home server is a measly 500GB and has just 37GB on it. I even have another computer that I use with 125GB drive. Barely 1/3 filled.
