Yes

Original image please

yes. that's the main reason most people put /home on its own partition.

How does it work though?

when you're installing mount it as /home without formatting.

Just edit fstab to mount the fucker. Fuck sake.

Get off this board underage

shit post.

Yes, I've done it a few times with my Arch reinstalls. Basically, just remove most of the hidden folders on /home, scratch for whatever configs you may want to keep, and mount the partition as /home through the installer, or whatever the fuck distro you're using's method. It just werks.

Yes, use Docker

based and sippilled

GUI installs will ask which partition you want as your /home and whether you want to format. In that case just don't format it. With manual installation such as gentoo or arch, you will simply add that partition as your /home in the /etc/fstab file. Keep usernames and groups consistent so you don't fuck up permissions. Next time use a search engine

You fags really can't tell this is some pedophile dipshit that made up the question so he could post his pedo loli monster picture?

I'm flattered but it seems kind of self destructive on your part.

DEGENERATE ON SUICIDE WATCH

I'd literally pay a mod to permaban this tripfaggot.

yes
i accidentally installed ubuntu on my arch while distro hopping created made another partition
main problem is you have to manually config grub in your cuckridden config

This is why I am kinda glad I installed Gentoo at least once.

yes, you can share /home between distros

your right or my right?

mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
pacstrap base /mnt
or something like that
