16gb is a bit tight for the whole root partition, but maybe if you partition the HDD with a slice for
/home/
and another slice for/var/
. If those two are segregated to the HDD, you should be able to hold all the other root directories in the SSD.I've done that, /home and /var on the HDD. The larger apps I use (libreoffice, gimp, firefox) I set up as flatpak user installs, and many others I use as AppImages, keeping them in my home directory. I haven't set it all up but it looks doable.
