I use NVMe as a faster version of SSD, that's all.

I just discovered I lied. Although on one alternative desktop I used
all bind mounts, it turns out my current Daily Driver Desktop (DDD) has
lots and lots and lots of partitions, because I kept using the same
layout as pre-bind-mount installations.

However, the following article shows you how to take one giant
partition, put directories on it, and bind mount those directories to
mount points on your NVMe or whatever else you use as / :
