I have ubuntu on my server and I really need to switch it. It's such a dick move when you apt install something and it opts for a snap. I just roll my eyes and groan when I think of having to back up EVERYTHING (music, media, dockers configs, compiled projects, random projects, etc) in order to switch the distro. I dont' have the time to do it. It's like nearly 2TB worth of stuff.

    Isn't the default installation of Ubuntu to BTRFS? In which case, you should have an @ subvolume with Ubuntu that's mounted to /, and an @home subvolume that's mounted to /home.

    Make a new subvolume, install a new operating system into it, and choose that subvolume in the bootloader, should be able to have Ubuntu and 'your favourite OS' (I use Arch btw) living side-by-side with the same home directory.
