I personally think it is trash..
It doesn't make any sense.
Why staying on old package for unnecessary stability (that stability is for highly "mission critical" things).
I think it would save you someday, when there is nothing writing in /usr so the writing in /home would not cause much damage. On a system with a huge root partition, an incomplete writing might damage the whole filesystem.
Fsck would be faster. newfs (mkfs) would be faster. I found NetBSD spend so much time when it do newfs a 32G root partition (installing NetBSD in hyper-v).
Also for the /tmp partition, we can use memory filesystem (tmpfs) if we have 4G of RAM or more, instead of physical disk to store things that are cleaned on reboot.
It isn't possible :)
Windows' filesystem is different to unix, and it is much flawed.
Partitioning have benefits. It is quite easy to set up "modern gnu/linux" since they all use a graphical installer. For sizes you can refer to openbsd's disklabel(8) man page.
It increase stability and security. Not only for enterprise.
I think it is better to partition /usr (and /usr/local) too, for stability and security
Qubes os does not run xfce in a vm I think?
It actually run everything in a vm, not a container.
Why not put everything in one big partition

A comment: The guy who make that video might be a troll, I reviewed his videos' titles.
And such bullshit is much more accessible in plain text form.
so few good explanations
What a lack of documentation. On BSDs we didn't suffer that.
I just want a tldr
BSD is an operating system. It diverged into FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD.
The BSDs don’t have the dev resources of Linux simply because Linux has a much larger install base.
Really?
I don't think OpenBSD is as funded as Debian but it could maintain software like OpenSSH (even the portable version for Linux and Windows); LibreSSL (still not much used, but funded because of this), OpenSMTPD.
But OpenBSD can maintain its ports which in my opinion is relatively large (no update for -release, sorry :) ). And base. For so many hardware platform. Even VAX until 6.9
top is the standard.
