So, basically I’d like to replace the /home with different hard drives. I have a 4tb one that I’m using for videos, a 1tb I’m using for audio files and video games (not the actual game installed there but for example executables or ROMs), and a 500gb I’m using for texts and images. My idea would be to not have the /documents folder and so on and have a drive for everything. Can I do this?

    Are any of these an SSD? Because you will definitely feel it if you move your home from an SSH to an HDD. Especially browsers and such, things will start up much more slowly.

    I’d recommend keeping home on an SSD and optionally moving all the folders to an HDD if you wish, but at least keep dotfiles on an SSD if you have one.

    There’s a lot of options for shuffling things around on Linux with symlinks and bind mounts.
