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- 24 keith keith 4.0K May 27 06:09  2022

I'll fix that zero in older one day.

All the best
