Ask HN: What is the best way to configure a Mac/Linux dual-boot

  • Create an exfat partition called 'data' and mount it on both MacOS and Linux.

    Then create your Documents, Downloads etc. folders on it, and use symbolic links.

    e.g. on MacOS, do something like this for each 'shared' folder:

    rm -rf /home/rahim/Downloads

    mkdir /Volumes/data/Downloads

    ln -s /Volumes/data/Downloads /home/rahim
