From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Are any of these an SSD? Because you will definitely feel it if you move your home from an SSH to an HDD. Especially browsers and such, things will start up much more slowly.
I'd recommend keeping home on an SSD and optionally moving all the folders to an HDD if you wish, but at least keep dotfiles on an SSD if you have one.
There's a lot of options for shuffling things around on Linux with symlinks and bind mounts.
