SteamOS is spreading beyond Valve's hardware. That could threaten Microsoft's hold on PC gaming...or even Windows' hold on the PC market.

    A good way to keep this easy for yourself is to keep the files you actually care about like pictures, game saves, documents, etc all on a separate partition. It makes it very easy to make a backup for distro hopping.

    You can nuke your OS as many times as you like, and everything will be exactly in the same place.

      If you want to be slightly fancier, you can use a btrfs subvolume and not have to worry about sizing partitions correctly.

        @cadekat @Olgratin_Magmatoe doesn’t ext4 have this feature or am I missing something?

          I don’t believe it does, but I could be wrong!
