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?

    I was juggling like that, I had most of my files in NTFS so I could read them in windows, even for files read only by Linux programs.
    Most programs were able to read from any part of the file system, but for those with strict paths I used symlinks.

    But I haven’t had any use for Windows lately so I decided to delete all but one NTFS partition and this last one is only 256GB with 100GB free.
    The rest of the data I moved it to ext4 and btrf partitions.
