I set up a server using an old laptop just for Nextcloud and Jellyfin. After installation I realized that Nextcloud Snap files are kept in the root directory and there is no way to move them to the Home.

The Arch Wiki says that Jellyfin cannot access your Home, and suggest creating /media directory for it.

Based on these, do I need to partition the whole disk into a single partition? If I do that, won’t I lose all my data in case of changing distro?

I mean is it right to install without Home partition?
