do you know that minecraft mod that autosorts your inventory? is there are project that can autosort a messy file system and put all of your files of a similar nature into a well organised, well named order. obviously this would require ai that could do image, language, and audio recognition but is there anything in the works? i can imagine this would speed up distrohopping by 10x. ai powered file management

      Partitions.

      Many distros will partition your disk as /, /home, and swap.

      If you want to, when installing a different distro, you can manually format and install the system to / and not format /home but flag it to be mounted as home.

      Typically you keep you /home on a separate drive or partition. Your /root and /swp are on others. When you install the new OS you do custom partitions and mount options install the OS on the root then mount /home to your home partition/drive.

      You’ll still have to install the applications again, but all of your configs and history is still there. It feels surreal the first time you do it.
