Unifying windows and arch personal folders on my other ssd.
Hi, I would like to know if there is a way to change the location of personal folders from /home/* to /DiskD/User/* I mount my second ssd as /DiskD and add it in fstab and all that so I never have problems mounting; what I want is to unify my personal folders with my windows, not move the /home as such, . config and everything else stays where it always is, what I want is that the path to downloads, documents, images, etc can be redirected to my other ssd as it can be done in windows, so that the same directory works for both OS.
Asking ChatGPT he recommended me to use "xdg-user-dir", for example:
xdg-user-dirs-update --set DOWNLOAD /DiskD/User/Downloads
I don't know if that would be the best way to do it, that's what I would like to know.

chatGPT's system should probably work, might wanna double check to see if your question has been asked on any stackexchange forum (superuser, unix.stackexchange.com, stackoverflow, askubuntu) or reddit before
