I've recently migrated my main laptop from Windows 10 to Linux Pop_OS. My setup includes a 128 GB SSD for the OS and a 1 TB HDD that I'd like to use for storage. I've heard it's possible to just put /home on the HDD, but I've seen mixed opinions about it. Another approach I considered was replacing specific folders like /documents, /downloads, and /images with symlinks that point to their equivalents on the HDD. Are there any other methods I should consider? What's the best option for managing storage effectively?

I’ve heard that putting /home on the HDD can waste space on your SSD and might cause application conflicts later. It’s not a common recommendation for that reason.
That makes sense! I wasn’t aware that it could cause application issues.
