I'm planning on a fresh install on Ubuntu Mate 16.04 LTS on the partition now housing Ubuntu 14.04 LTS; neither installation has a /home partition, and I'm the only user.
I've been using Ubuntu Mate almost exclusively for the past month or so.
I don't save data to /home as my data store is a NAS which provides the ability to share with 2 Ubuntu installs, 2 Windows installs, and a Mac.
My interest in /home mainly is to preserve application settings (esspecially Thunderbiird rules and contacts)
I'm seeking advice about:
1) combining 2 /homes
or
2) abandoning Ubuntu 14.04 /home
