So, basically I’d like to replace the /home with different hard drives. I have a 4tb one that I’m using for videos, a 1tb I’m using for audio files and video games (not the actual game installed there but for example executables or ROMs), and a 500gb I’m using for texts and images. My idea would be to not have the /documents folder and so on and have a drive for everything. Can I do this?

You can move the default folders like “Music” “Photos” and “Videos” or whatever to any location you’d like. I personally have my /home on a small ssd and on a separate large ssd I have a shared partition with windows with all my other stuff. I mounted that partition to /mnt/Storage or whatever and just mapped all my stuff to that partition, like pictures to /mnt/Storage/Pictures

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
