Anyway WST keep your Doc files on a separate partition just to be safe as possible.
Having a separate /home partition still has nothing to do with safety.

Say, for example, you do an upgrade that doesn't necessarily go according to plan and you have to reformat the root partition and you DO have your separate home partition, when you are done reformatting the root partition and restart your computer you will see that your desktop is just as you left it, the terminal commands that a new user might forget, are still there, etc.. It's safer to have one than not.

You must run backups every hour on your personal machines Tobi.
Nope, I run them when I have a reason to do it.

If you wait till you have a reason, it's probably too late

Don't you and most every other Linux user you know have a home partition? I should have said the most common, not necessary or needed, was just trying to help.
But you already knew that.
