Partitioning mixed media
Partitioning mixed media
I wanted to get an opinion on how to partition various disks. My Win 10 machine is going to Linux Mint with Win 10 ending support. I currently have three disks: SATA SSD which is the C: drive, a traditional HDD for bulk storage (D:), and a M.2 SSD for games (F:). I was looking for an opinion on how to partition the M.2 SSD. It all depends on where you install games. Should the M.2 drive be /home or something else like /opt?
You're viewing a single thread.
I would use the M2 drive as your root partition. If you really want to break it down smaller for just the stuff that needs speed, then maybe /usr and /var/lib. Your home directory can contain programs but more often than not it is only settings and storage. Just my 2 cents though.
I was under the impression that Steam installs everything in /home. Do you know if that's accurate?
