Mount the NVME drive as root ( / )
Mount the other drive as ( /home ) (this is the users directory)
Don't forget to have a SWAP partition. (swap is a cache for RAM)
You could create another partition on the NVME for games or something.
If you later decide to change distros, you won't have to format the drive you use as /home . You just format the root partition.
I'll have to look at the advanced options in the installer, but that sounds like an ideal setup.
If you don't figure it out in the installer, it can be configured after install. The configuration file for mounting partitions on boot is /etc/fstab .

I wouldn't bother. It is better to create a subvolume if using a filesystem like btrfs which supports it - or even still - simply a directory on the root filesystem like
/opt/gameswith privileges / ownership assigned to the user. This way you don't end up in a situation where one partition gets filled while the other is at like 10% capacity. Resizing filesystems / partitions is a much bigger pain in the ass than simply deleting some piece of Activision slop to free some space.I agree with everything else.
