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?

    So how could I install programs on the other drive? When they get installed they are scattered between /bin /lib /usr/bin and others, how could I move them in /media/SATA (where my drive is mounted)

    The only thing I can do is move appimages until now

      Yes, because you’re installing them using the package manager (which is the recommended way). You can’t (and shouldn’t) move things installed by the package manager. You can manually install programs wherever. However, I think I’m missing a crucial bit of information, why do you need to do that? 256GB should be much more than enough for anything.
