I'd like to set-up my various MacBooks with a dual-boot set-up that minimizes duplication. i.e. if I want to set-up Darling in linux, I'd like to re-use whatever I can from the Mac install vs. redownloading. I'd like to do this for user home, music, downloads, etc. but APFS is a pain and I hear lots of issues. Anyone have the secret sauce or some advice on best practices?
Create an exfat partition called 'data' and mount it on both MacOS and Linux.<p>Then create your Documents, Downloads etc. folders on it, and use symbolic links.<p>e.g. on MacOS, do something like this for each 'shared' folder:<p>rm -rf /home/rahim/Downloads<p>mkdir /Volumes/data/Downloads<p>ln -s /Volumes/data/Downloads /home/rahim
