I installed ubuntu on my workstation in 2013 and have upgraded the OS since. I’ve swapped out the motherboard and added 5 drives in raid6. The thing morphed from a desktop into a server over the years. The only original HW is the case (power supply died a few years ago). I never really concidered wiping & installing a new OS.
For me it’s installing a new OS every six months for a fun new experience.
I have a USB drive bay. Just swap disks to play around with other distros. It’s pretty neat too
Well now I feel silly for not thinking about doing that.
It actually works quite well. Seperate home partition and off you go 😁
Wouldn’t that clutter your home partition since every distro you install has some things to put on there?
Yeah that’s what I figured you’d do. Thank you for your wisdom.
