Dual boot partitioning

MiuST@sopuli.xyz to Linux@lemmy.ml – 2 points –

Hello! I recently upgraded my laptop with 500 gb of storage but it's on another disk from where I have installed linux. How can I expand my linux root partition when linux is installed on another disk and I am also dual booting with windows? I am using linux mint.

You could functionally accomplish something like this by setting the second drive as your /home partition. An advantage of this is that you can preserve your user files even if you end up wiping and reinstalling your OS, since your home directory would be on a totally different drive.
