however, nothing stops you from moving all the stuff you frequently use to a ramdisk.

mount /dev/vg-ssd/lv-usr /usr

But do it during install or you have to go behind and remove the eclipsed install stuff after.

And don't do it on systemd-afflicted systems as lennart's cancer makes that harder because he couldn't figure out why a /usr directory was useful and he ditched it. Dunning-kruger says what?

/usr was introduced because the original UNIX machine ran out of storage space and they had to mount a second drive.
