Honestly if it weren't for the headache of some software still not ported over to arm 4 years later, Macs would be pretty good for software development since they have a lot of the POSIX tooling.
For the same reason I have windows so that games will "just work," I have Linux so my programming setup will "just work." Low level languages like C/C++ are so much easier to work with on Linux.
In steam at least there's a setting to add a separate steam library at another folder. You can make that folder on your other drive and then have new games install there by default.
Could also be referring to something like ~/.local/bin, where you remove unnecessary user-only programs vs. /use/bin where you remove system essential ones.
Ok but like let's be real who actually fights with their wolves instead of just leaving them sitting in their base somewhere. Can the armor be dyed? That might help a bit
