@fedora@fosstodon.org Shrug. This is how I have always done it. My desktop $HOME is on a big ol' spinning-rust drive, and my OS ( Debian ) fits handily on a 256 gb SSD. Made it pretty easy when 3 power failures in rapid succession borked the OS drive. I even upgraded from Bookworm to Trixie when fixing it, all with my ${HOME} physically disconnected from the machine. Felt Really Safe. After the struggle I just reconnected my ${HOME} drive and all my Stuff was back together.
