Technically, if you had tons of time and a solid understanding of Linux inside and out, you might be able to pull it off, but it’s not worth the hassle at all.
This is what I thought. Preferably “from the outside” i.e. while the system isn’t running. But all you “saved” in the end is the filesystem the original OS was installed on, and possibly personal data (which probably is the reason OP is even asking).
Theoretically yes, practically no.
+1 for openSUSE btw.
Personally I don’t use a separate /home partition. Software versions can differ significantly between distros and this has plenty of potential to effectively fuck up your system anyhow*.
I use a separate data partition instead, and hook it into my home with symlinks. Pictures, Documents, Videos etc. - these are usually those that take the most disk space anyhow, by a large margin.

What’s it based on?
Also +1 for openSUSE.
I recommend MPD and a cli frontend like ncmpcpp (horrible name, good software).
BTW I’m pretty sure you can get the WiFi working.
And for most use case you’ll want to get rid of the GUI. In Debian’s case, best to reinstall the so-called minimal or netinst image.
I find local password managers stronger than cloud password managers
Agreed.
I hope keepassxc is on the list. Also works like a charm on Windows 😉
a free fan-made Commodore inspired Linux distribution
on a server running Microsoft ware 🙄
+1 for netcup 👍
Doesn’t something like this exist already? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_search_engine
No.
AI search offers me nothing that “normal” search doesn’t also offer.
But it uses a thousand times more resources.
10 years ago people were shocked by the size of Google’s server halls. Now imagine the increase in size/numbers through AI.
Fuck this shit. The internet isn’t what’s driving the climate catastrophe, it’s how people use it.
In case you were wondering what exactly this MS money is:
Francisco Mingorance, Secretary General at the Cloud Infrastructure Service Providers in Europe (CISPE) association, explained that as part of the settlement reached with Microsoft last year an innovation fund was set up using Microsoft’s cash.
Some €1 million of that has now been allocated to Fulcrum, an open source project to aggregate products from smaller tech vendors to rival the hyperscalers, he said.
Sounds really good.
“It’s happening,” he said. "There’s been work going on for over a year on this, you know, coding and everything, testing, proof of concept…
Um. “coding and everything”? “Proof of concept”? So they don’t really have anything (yet)? Well, let’s hope they get there anyhow.

What made the story so captivating for me is how dystopian yet extremely close to present day reality it is.
Of course that’s what he does: takes already existing situations and weaves them into something eye-opening.
I think it’s something called pre-emptive obedience. Those mods that stayed have made their choice. they’re willing to abide by the new rules; and since some of these rules are ridiculous and confusing, they prefer to err on the side of caution.
And now, for no reason at all, I will leave you with this disturbing image:
