   You should really move your /home to an SSD, too, and only symlink data-intensive stuff to your HDD mount. This will heavily speed up your desktop. In particular browsers (but also many other apps) store their cache there.

   You can try it out the other way around as well, of course: symlink your ~/.cache to your SSD mount.

   Give it a shot, worth it!

     Just thought about that a little more:

     symlinking .cache might actually not do the trick for all browsers. I don't keep a mental list of all browsers' current behavior, but I certainly do remember Firefox & Chromium both abusing ~/.local/share for their caches at some point.

     So, back to the original advice... better keep your entire home on an SSD and just symlink ~/Photos or ~/Movies to your HDD mount.
