I have 2 drives in my machine. Linux right now is installed on 1/4 of the first drive and I am going to start moving parts of my 2nd drive, which is just games on Windows, to a 1/2 combo of NTFS and BTRFS. Essentially giving Linux more space as it replaces Windows as my gaming daily driver. With the eventual plan to move that entire 2nd drive over to BTRFS, and allow Windows to have 3/4 of the 1st drive for games that only run under it.

Curious how folks have set this up. Currently I have Steam, Heroic and Lutris installing to ~/Games. So it may make sense to mount my new drive there, but I am not sure that in home folder mounts make sense. I also realize I could potentially use BTRFS to make it look like my space is all one mount point vs multiple, but given the complexity of that filesystem I am worried there is a downside I am not aware of.

Any suggestions? What has worked for you for your setup?

    Unrelated aside, I like running torrents on my NAS because I almost always have that on, plus I have ZFS on it so all the data is reasonable durable.

      I’d love to get a NAS but i’m a bit too stingy. That definitely sounds like a better solution than just leaving my machine on 24/7.
