This is a certified hood Klassiker. I keep all my important files on external disks, so I can reinstall easily. I tried other distros that “fix” this issue, but I’ll never leave my true love Arch again (dont tell my wife, I don’t want to sleep on the couch again).
Separate / from /home into separate partitions. When you reinstall, set to overwrite /, but leave /home intact or set it to be /home for the new install without formatting. It will reinstall your distro but keep your data.
The main reason I don’t do this is that I don’t want to keep any executables / potentially malicious, or files prone to exploitation around. So I like to fully format my main SSD. Yeah, it’s a bit paranoid, but I still prefer it. Thanks for the tip, tho. I think it’s helpful for alot of people.
Too late, she saw distro on your collar.
