Hey guys I have both SSD and HDD in my device and I have a question concerning partitioning. Whenever I create home partition on my HDD most of the deb packages and flatpaks are being installed there such as web browsers but I want to be able to install them on SSD how can I do that? can someone help me?

  • You get most control in your directory layout. As deb packages expand to specific locations on your file-system, your control over that is to place those directories on the drive/array you want them to be, with ubiquity & ubuntu-desktop-installer (even calamares as used by some flavors) allowing you control over directories in the "Something else" or "Manual Partitioning" option of install (you didn't specify Ubuntu product thus we don't know which installer you're using; I haven't even touched subiquity of Ubuntu Server for example). – guiverc Jan 29 '24 at 20:56

    The app should still be in / (root). But data may be in the . (hidden) files & folders in /home. I know that is where both Firefox & Thunderbird defaults are. I make / a bit larger and keep /home inside /. but then have all data in separate data partition. I use links to then make folders in data partition look like they are in /home.
