How does putting /home on a separate partition help?

@argv_minus_one it allows me to not be perfectly meticulous about making backups and remembering edits. It also helps a LOT if I made a mistake in a gui app and can’t find the actual config file (this had happened to me when running the nvidia app and messing up my x11 setup somewhere) And it’s much easier to distro hop if I know that a) the old distri is totally gone and b) I don’t need to worry about /home
