    I don’t know what the point of separate partitions for OS and userspace is, but whatevs…

    Some folks like to be able to reinstall the OS while preserving /home. That’s the only reason I’ve seen for doing separate partitions. (I’m not someone who does that, but it’s the explanation I’ve seen)

      That makes sense. I would personally just back up /home and then recover it after reinstalling, but if I were doing all that anyway then I guess I would partition the OS separately in case I need to do it again…
