Hey folks!

I’m about to distro hop (again) to test Tumbleweed for a longer period of time 🦎 However, something i’ve not done before is to have my /home directory on a separate partition, should I? If I do it, should it be a different filesystem than the rest? (Been reading on OpenSuse TW forums and seen people mentioning that they use BTRFS for /home and XFS for the rest, or the other way around. Are there any benefits of using separate filesystems, or is this done to get the BTRFS backup for the /home dir?

What are the pros and cons of doing these changes to my system, lemmy know :)

    Personally it’s one btrfs partition with subvolumes for root and home, previously i had a separate home with ext4 (it’s always better to have a separate home)
