Linux

Can i just reinstall to my root partition and have my home partition work as expected?

Yes, but you might have to muck around with /etc/fstab. The reason is because when you install to your root partition, the installer will create a new /home in that root partition. (Unless you have an installer that's smart enough that you can tell it otherwise.)

You should be able to mount the partition in any case, but to have the system recognize it as /home it has to be properly set up in fstab.

I try to keep everything I care about in one folder that is backed up regularly, so it’s not such a big deal to reinstall the OS.

Spent half the day debugging wifi and kernel panic issues during boot. What finally fixed it was adding 5 sec delay to iwd service so wifi card firmware can do it's thing (or at least I think thats why it helped).

The best way to learn something is by hurting you.

I overwrote my ssh private key with rsync. Fortunately I had special cron job running on my servers that updates ssh public keys on a server with ssh public keys from my github account, so I just had to upload a new key to the github and wait for a few hours.

My pacman -Syu crashed on my old laptop and at this point I might just reinstall it, this time putting on some sort of a snapshot solution on it like on my main laptop

D'hoe...

Nice day to move to nixos ;)
