I'm digging back this thread, as I recently decided to cleanup my workstation (running crux 3.4). I had 2 drives hanging around, doing nothing so I am doing an experiment:

- reinstall crux 3.5 from scratch, amd remounting /home from last install (hdd)
- install openbsd 6.6 from scratch, and recreate my environment there (ssd)

In the end, the environment should be somehow the same (same software installed, and dotfiles, if any), but the way to get there is totally different.
I want to see how hard it is to recreate it from scratch on the openbsd drive, and how dirty my clean crux 3.5 system becomes when I recreate the environment arounf mmd an existing /home.

Sonfar, both systems are up, and I boot in crux from now on. My "fresh" system is surprisingly useful out-of-the-box, because I started installng more and more software in ~/.local (like st, wmutils, sxhkd, ...) this has the nice benefit of feeling right at home on a new install ! Pretty cool so far. however, many software didn't work right away because librairies where missing. I should compile them statically perhaps ;)

I can't wait till I rebuild my workflow on openbsd now, to see how tedious it is. That's gonna be complex, as my /home currently lives on an LVM partition, so I don't have any way to read it while on openbsd. And Linux cannot mount openbsd UFS in rw either.... Good times ahead ^^
