So do what a lot of people do. Put in a SSD *and* a HDD. Install the OS to the SDD, get the speed where it makes booting (and other things) fast, and its contents are less precious than your data. But store your data on the HDD that you have more faith with (which can be /home *and* various other parts of the directory tree). A two drive system also gives you the benefit of safer system updates., as your data isn't on the drive being installed to. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1062.1.2.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Sep 30 14:19:46 UTC 2019 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
