sorry for the silly question; for gaming/heavy programs on Ubuntu (PlayOnLinux, Wine, Steam etc.) and given the amount up updates that come and go plus, I am - at least under the impression that you cannot chose where programs are installed as much as you would be able to on Windows (with wizard installations) am I wrong? So with that in mind where would you suggest I install Ubuntu and why?
Edit (more background):
I ask because I have previously had issues with /boot being full from several kernels + initrd (I fixed this) and also because already on this machine my SSD is at 60% use according to df -h
and I am not that experienced yet with GNU/Linux so I though I would ask here.
