But the whole model is broken now that platform-specific apps tend to keep their private data in dot directories in your home. So you can't share your home directory across platforms, which then means mounting the shared home somewhere else and symlinking all the locations of local home with documents etc to subdirectories of the shared home.
I link the Documents, Videos, Photos folders. If other apps create their own directories and they are large, I have to symlink them, too.
It's a complete pain and would work much better if platform-specific data were held in a different place, with a symlink from home:
