I've asked this three different times now, hoping someone can help me.
I've got a 10gb / partition, and a 90GB /home partition. My question, is what partition are programs installed after using a package manager to get them. If it's /, how do I change it to be installed on /home instead, considering I'd rather not run out of space.
And how do I figure this stuff out anyway?
Also, what does the package manager do when it downloads/installs? Does it get rid of all the files it uses to install the program? Or just leave it there for me to delete?
Sorry for the basic questions. As you can tell, Im still brand new to everything.
