So just got my computer switched over to Pop! OS.

When I open the Pop Shop, the installers don’t give me an option to change the location of the app installs. I have 4 disks, 2 nvmes, 2 hard disks. I would prefer to install some of my apps to the 2nd nvme, which I have mounted to /Apps. Mainly the games I will play, along with Stream and Lutris.

Would I need to install from the terminal with apt or nala? I installed nala because it looks cleaner, but we’ll see.

    You can install any app anywhere by hand. Download binaries, put them anywhere you want for example home/.local/bin and add that location to your PATH. Most package managers install apps system-wide ie somewhere in root.
