So recently tried zorin os and now im dual booting it with windows, and because of that I need a have NTFS partition between them. Now I have a 256gb windows partition, a 256 linux partition and a 1.7 Tb shared ntfs partition shared between them and I wonder how do you organize your files if you need to have them on another partition and cant use ~.
For programs they will always end up on / and I cant install them on another partition (dont know why) but what do you do for files? What folders do you have and where are they?
Many years ago I had this on Win2k and I mounted the shared partition as /home/myusername and in Windows I mapped it with some drive manager thing to C:\Users\myusername and it was quite the clusterfuck, because the dotfiles are visible in Windows and hidden files visible in Linux, but at least my Downloads etc were auto sorted to the correct dir on both. Oh and the permissions didn’t stick, so i had to set the more restrictive like .ssh from a boot script.
