Any recent application should respect the global https://flatpak.github.io/xdg-desktop-portal/docs/doc-org.freedesktop.portal.Settings.html setting. If it doesn’t, you should blame the app developer.

HDD, which is /home

Spinning rust is slow

Have you tried to either

1. put /home on the SSD and only larger subdirectories on the HDD
2. set eg. XDG_CONFIG_HOME, XDG_CACHE_HOME etc. to a location on the SSD (to improve program startup time)

I have no direct comparison, but I can imagine that this could reduce the performance impact of your HDD.

I want that individual users are able to theme my app. I don’t want that distributors and DEs automatically theme my app and expect that it still works the same.

It’s a bit like websites: I’m absolutely fine if a user wants to inject some CSS in my website. On the other hand, if a browser manufacturer decided to inject CSS into all websites to customize their look, it would be a nightmare for web developers.
