Hi all,

I’m testing out different distros and I’m giving them just 20gbs for the main install partition, with the aim to have everything stored on the NAS. Is there recommended way to do this? I’m thinking just making a symlink to a location on my NAS but I’m concerned that’ll cause some unforeseen complications. Would really appreciate any advice!

      Haha I’ve been switching installation methods more than I’ve been switching distros! I’ve once again settled on a local install with extra storage on the NAS. I was only giving about 20gb per partition which was way too little. Now I have 4 different distros each on 100gb partitions on my local nvme. It’s about 7-8gbps vs my NAS which was only about 1gbps and that’s on larger files only. I think that gives me a fair amount of runway while I figure out the distro or two that I’ll use for my main. I still can spin up a NAS install really easily in the case I want to test something out though! Although Arch makes it a real headache to install to an iscsi
