Can I preserve my files if I don't mount the home partition? [Solved]
[fuckuimabird@arch-pc ~] $ lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda 8:0 0 465.8G 0 disk
├─sda1 8:1 0 1.9G 0 part
├─sda2 8:2 0 14.9G 0 part [SWAP]
├─sda3 8:3 0 93.1G 0 part /
└─sda4 8:4 0 355G 0 part /home
sr0 11:0 1 79.6M 0 romI know, probably a dumb question, but I'm curious anyway.
If I don't mount /dev/sda4, can I preserve my personal files, while still doing a fresh install?

Sure. Then just mount it as /home once you are done.

just keep in mind that .config and .cache might do strange things if userspace version upgrades have happened in between
