Why would you want that?
If you have separate partitions, would you really want user data to go to the system partition? Or a third partition?
Do you find having more places that user programs can write a benefit?
- prmoustache 3y agoI would favor a /var/user/something directory. The fact that nobody does that is pretty much a consequence of the difficulty of coordinating multiple projects that do not have a common authority, not because it is a bad idea.
- remram 3y agoAgain, what do you prefer about that? Maybe the reason no one does that is simply that no one shares your preference.
- prmoustache 3y agoHaving a clear separation between actual user data files / documents and stuff like cache for different reasons: - easier to cleanup/wipe without risking deleting works/personnal files - backup solution doesn't have to have a town of entries in an ignore/exclude file - same as above for syncing software - tier storage separation possibility - disk space allocation separation depending on data vs volatile stuff
