Moe I use a small data partition on a SSD for /home/me and symlink dir's from the larger drive into that /home/me. Debian helps by offering to set up a /home partition at installation. It means that my recent files open quicker. eg : >> ls -lah /home/keith/Documents/ total 21M drwxrw--w- 16 keith keith 4.0K Jul 7 14:59 . drwxrw--w- 49 keith keith 4.0K Jun 7 12:20 .. drwxrw--w- 13 keith keith 4.0K Feb 28 21:21 0lder drwxrw--w- 5 keith keith 4.0K Feb 4 2022 2020 drwxrw--w- 3 keith keith 4.0K May 27 06:07 2021 drwxrw--w- 24 keith keith 4.0K May 27 06:09 2022 drwxrw--w- 16 keith keith 4.0K Jul 11 09:10 2023 I'll fix that zero in older one day.
