Hi all, I’ve had a trawl around but can’t quite find the answer I’m looking for. I’m currently on Windows with 5 separate physical storage drives with different purposes - OS, games, media, apps, random bullshit.

I’ve been trialling Linux on and off for ages and I think I’ve settled on Garuda for now. I’d like to have a similar style of separation under Linux if possible - in case I fancy a change of distro etc.

I’m assuming I can just leave my media drive as just a drive. My understanding is that apps/games are installed in the /usr/bin folder?

Is it possible or even worthwhile specifying a /usr/bin/apps and /usr/bin/games folder and pointing each folder to their respective drive? Or as both drives are the same make/model would it just be better to use them both as a single virtual volume?

Thanks in advance!

    Have you considered some kind of parity system to protect you from data loss in case of failure?
