For me it's installing a new OS every six months for a fun new experience.

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.

[–] Geert@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] Cosmonaut_Collin@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

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

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

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 .
