    Originally I had the OS and home on a 256GB SSD. Now the OS is on a 256GB SSD and home is on a 1TB SSD.

    I can also completely wipe away the drive with the OS on it. Reinstall the same distro or install a different distro, point fstab to that drive, and bam all my home files are right there.

    • rollback from grub
    • rpm-ostree reset

    I'm on Bazzite, first time doing wacky stuff like a year and half or so ago... ended up in an unnecessary reinstall.
