I would set up Premiere on the HDD, using Linux only for Adobe Premiere. The installation should choose the SSD partition, with 6GB RAM—would a swap file be necessary? And where should it be placed if needed: SSD or HDD? Thanks a lot for your guidance!
Modern Linux distributions support reading and writing NTFS partitions directly, eliminating the need to interact with your hard drive. I still suggest keeping your Linux and Windows data separate—though using distinct folders is acceptable. Repartitioning isn’t necessary. For the Linux partition setup, allocate a minimum of 20GB for /, with more preferred if you can manage a smaller /home. Aim for at least 2GB of swap space.
During installation of Ubuntu, choose the 40Gb partition and set the mount point to '/'. This will position your /home directory immediately beneath '/', which seems like a favorable choice.
The process of applying an application on Windows differs from common expectations. It isn't as straightforward as OSX's self-contained packages—even after installing Premiere to your hard drive, many files remain on your main partition (your Windows setup). This ensures essential files for running, updating, or modifying the software are always accessible, including temporary files generated while using the program. Simply adding Premiere or any big application will increase the data footprint on your Windows partition, so it's important to think about how you organize your partitions.
Install Ubuntu for a fresh start. Many new users abandon it and switch to other distributions when they face issues.
I favor Linux Mint, having started using it after this post. I just hope KdenLive could be more similar to Premiere or Resolve for video editing purposes.
