I have a USB drive bay. Just swap disks to play around with other distros. It's pretty neat too

Well now I feel silly for not thinking about doing that.

It actually works quite well. Seperate home partition and off you go 😁

Wouldn't that clutter your home partition since every distro you install has some things to put on there?

mv .config .config.old235 :D

I'm distro shopping right now, so I made a large "home" partition, and several smaller OS partitions (GPT FTW!). If I want things to "sync" (Docs, Downloads, .mozilla, .bashrc) I delete the /home/user/Music and symlink it to my /mnt/sharehome/Music .

Yeah that's what I figured you'd do. Thank you for your wisdom.
