Title, I'm considering distrohopping to opensuse, but I want to keep my files, and a separate /home partition seems ideal for that, but sadly, I did not set it up during install. Is there any way to do so after the install, and move my files over to the /home partition?

how do i do that
tall zephyr
nvim /etc/fstab
vim /etc/fstab
nano /etc/fstab
the syntax for each entry is
identifier,mountpoint,fstype, mountoption,dump, order
and they are seperated by spaces

your choice
either way
if youre not using a filsystem with compression (and has it on) for root
you should use a 50GiB root
