What do you think of the option of having a 220G / drive, with /usr
partition taking up most of it? Does that conform to your preferred
methods, or do you want the /usr partition to come from some other
driver entirely?

By the way, what I do on my Daily Driver Desktop these days is I have a
220GB SSD for /, and leave /usr on the / partition. I use fstrim on it
every couple weeks, and so far 9% of root drive is used according to df
-h. All my data partitions are on spinning disks mounted on the SSD
/. I boot via MBR to avoid needless unpleasantries while UEFI boot
outgrows its growing pains (or doesn't). It's working very well for me
so far.
