  • You could link individual directories from home as you say, but I usually create just one link to the HDD root, and save big stuff there manually.
  • Partitioning can be made more flexible if you use BTRFS subvolumes or LVM.

Keep both your `/` and `/home` on the SSD, and then create the `/data` partition in your HDD.

You could link individual directories from home as you say, but I usually create just one link to the HDD root, and save big stuff there manually.

Partitioning can be made more flexible if you use BTRFS subvolumes or LVM.
