I did that for a long time (been using Linux since '94), but now I have
10 gigabit ethernet between my desktop and my NFS server. It's fast as
heck for /home.

When I realize I need to nuke my machine and start over, it's:

sudo -i
dmesg > /dev/nvme1n1
systemctl reboot
Choose the right kickstart from the menu.
Refill coffee.
Go back to working as if nothing happened. My home directory is there
and my machine is reset to sane defaults.

Neat! Is there a tutorial somewhere about how to do this?
