I don't want to turn this into a snap bad mouthing thread, but yeah. You can't even symlink it or it causes problems. It really bugs me because I don't tend to allocate too much space to my home partition and keep most of my stuff on data partitions. So if I get a bunch of snap apps, it starts eating up all the space in home.

Can you wrap its invocation in a script that sets a snap specific version of the $HOME environment variable? If it's perverse, it ignores $HOME in favor of reading the passwd entry itself, in which case I'm happy to have never encountered it.

i hear you. in fact, i do use data partitions as well, and if my snap directory grew to much i would want to move it too.

as a workaround try to use a bind-mount
