I know this is a pretty common question, but the Google results don’t seem to offer a good solution and are mostly aimed at people who already know Linux.
I am looking to switch from Windows, where I have my OS and whatever big game I’m currently playing on my 128GB SSD, and everything else (games, most software, documents, ect.) on my 2TB HDD. ELI5, How would I replicate this on Linux? I’m planning on installing Mint, but am open to using Bazzite if it offers any additional tools for this sort of this.
I kinda feel like you’re not getting as many results because it’s not really as complicated in Linux. In Linux, I feel like if it’s a good idea to be able to install an item wherever you want, the install process will usually have a step where you get to choose where to put it.
If you’re installing your games through Steam, there’s also a Storage tab in your Settings that will allow you to create new libraries wherever and then you can just choose whichever one you like to install items to. I think moving your home drive might accomplish most of everything else you want.
