I have a new Dell laptop with a hybrid drive, that I would like to install Ubuntu Studio 19.10 on. What is the recommended method? I have never owned a computer with a hybrid drive before. Should Ubuntu Studio be installed using the drive as a RAID? Alternatively, installing Ubuntu Studio on the SSD part of the drive will speed up the boot and performance times, but it is only 256 GB. I use Bitwig Studio 3.1.2 and it isn't possible to move (unfortunately) all of the Bitwig folder contents in the /home/user/Bitwig\ Studio/ directory to another location. Thirdly, I assume that the non-SSD part of the drive would have to have a separate mount point such as /data which would require administrator privileges???

The hybrid drive should appear no differently than any other HDD, the SSD is just used internally as a cache to improve HDD performance. The HDD does not have a separate mount point. Therefore, follow the normal process:
Download Ubuntu Studio from https://ubuntu.com/download/flavours
