    The whole point of doing a separate partition for your home directory is to do just that… The fuck is this even supposed to mean.

      Uh… I don’t have a separate partition for /home. I have a separate zfs filesystem for it though. If I run into issues, I can restore from snapshot and not affect it.

      If you got a problem, reinstall and do the same stuff again, you’ll almost certainly get the same problem again. So, no, it’s only productive if you are in a fucked-up environment where changes bring more breakage than they fix.

      It’s useful if you don’t plan to do the same thing again, though. So if you are just trying random stuff, yeah, go ahead.
