How To Install Linux (with or w/o separated /home partition)

Crap I mess with my computer office cz not notice the boot loader selector while install ubuntu,.. It was Windows but now its start grub every start up,... 😅 No big problem just type exit and walah Windows come out 😂

I don't think I would need a swap area if I have 64GB of ram

I'm going to do it anyways when I do a full rebuild of my computer and get a new hard drive.

very nicely explained! I installad Linux mint on my HP Laptop with brand new, empty SSD drive. Installation was easy and Linux works but always as I start the laptop I get a message " no boot device found" it does not matter how I select it in bios. I always must go at start to boot options and select manually " Linux" from the list and press enter, after this it works quite normally until next start. I definitely have made something wrong but am not able to find out what,

Very well explained. Thanks!

nice, BUT you didn't go into details on where to put the /boot, when to chose primary (default) or logical. It sounds like you said put /boot on / but that wasn't an option for me, was greyed out. My linux install didn't even ask me to create home, just / and /boot. I ended up with putting boot into the old mint partition instead of the new mint partition, and I want to get rid of the old mint. Another thing I'm finding is during check sum, I pass first test, but not able to see proper result on other 2 tests for authenticity, integrity etc
Very hard to find a linux page or video that doesn't leave out some of the basics for newbies especially operating from linux when your windows options are dead

hello sir, is it possible to install linux debian on 18TB Harddisk ?

how do you dual boot with windows on one drive and linux on a seperate drive

really solid advice, cogently presented. I'm sure you haven't covered it - I mean why would you?! - I'm looking for dual boot Linux-Windows (I know....) disk & partition strategies. This channel continues to be absolute gold.

Have you covered RAID/LVM/other physical & logical disk management strategies?

Thank you!

I was wondering if you could put /boot efi, /root on one disk (sda) ------- /home on other disk (sdb)…I won't be using a swap partition, I'll be making a swap file. This would be at install.
I will be using 2 NVMe drives. I used SATA drives in this example but it's still the same.

Shouldn't the structure follow this path: /boot > /swap > /root > /home ?

i want a distro to have "install alongside windows" option like Ubuntu, but i don't like Ubuntu. Is there any other distro that does this?

Hey so I have a machine with a 300gb SSD and 1TB HDD. I'd like my home directory on the HDD I believe. One question. If I've been learning bash, will this alter my input at all such as (x/xX) /home? Or will it still just be /home?

Is there a way I can just have an ntfs first primary partition then have virtual drive images to mount the Linux file system? How would I script for grub to boot such?

I need help. I have been trying for weeks to install Linux to a bootable USB drive. I tried over a dozen of the common tools. None results in anything bootable, but ventnoy results with a small primary partition at the end of the drive that when I attempted to boot gave me the grub prompt. Any attempt to format a ext4 partition fails. If I make a primary partition at the beginning of the drive I can format it fat32,ntfs, or ext3. Trying to make a swap partition fails. I have to use dd if=zero to kill the partition table and MBR between attempts because remnants of the last thing I tried always seem to remain and causes more errors

I am giving up on linux because I cannot find any step-by-step instructions on how exactly to install the thing. Rufus, Calamares , and BalenaEtcher to not work; I want to install it on a partition that I have created. Neither of the show that partition. I have spent all day on this project with out success so I am giving up.

Best Ubuntu install and instructional video on the internet.
