So i tought that in the software store you could change in which volume or disk you could download the apps but i cant find a way to do that so i want to know if theres a way to do that or if there isnt cause in the main partition where i downloaded zorin i tought i could only fit zorin there and download the apps on the other disk i have but again i cant find a solution and i have searched a lot (i am new at linux if it wasnt clear)
so i was going to use the windows partition meanwhile to do some stuff and something got corrupted and cant fix itself probably during me cheking the partitions that is my bad
This is not as easy with Linux as it is with Windows. The programs are stored in completely different locations depending on the package management used. And a program is often not stored in a single directory, but is split up and stored in several locations. Many programs require dependencies on other programs/libraries without which they cannot function and to which they must have access. With AppImages, the easiest way is to determine the storage location yourself, as they include everything that is important for the execution of the program. You can also adjust the flatpack storage location, as flatpacks are containerized. However, you would also have to adjust the path so that the programs can also be found if you want to open them via the Start menu, for example.
The problem with all these other package managers (flatpak, snap, appimage) is that they are not so well integrated into the system, they do not have access to everything and therefore problems occur more often than with apt programs. If possible, these apt-programs should be left in the locations where the system stores them so that they are well integrated.
What you could do would be to set up your entire home partition on the other disk. This would at least get rid of a few things, because some programs and the user configurations of many programs are stored there.
You can also influence this for some programs by setting up the programs only for your user and not system-wide, in which case the program is saved in the home directory.
alright thank you so much man, I appreciate it
