I’m on Mint. I have two partitions, one at 100GB I set up for the main OS installation, and another 1.9TB installation I use for storage. But the first partition is getting some storage issues, which comes partly from Timeshift (which I already redirected) and partially from Steam, specifically Proton. I want to redirect Steam onto the larger partition, but the space Steam takes up in this way is taken up by several smaller files and folders that add up to a lot, so I feel unsure about how to change things properly.
And a follow-up question, is it safe for me to expand that smaller drive with Gparted or something, or would that put the data on it at risk? Since it’s the OS partition, that’s important data.


My NAS is a steam library, some games will even run off of it perfectly fine. It’s mostly to free up space on my SSDs with games that I’m not actively playing.
