Linux partitioning recommendations

You're a legend ❤

That was a killer video. Exactly what I wanted. Thanks a lot!

Most modern machines come w/ enough RAM that you don't need a swap partition. I've built both kernels from source and GCC itself (whilst playing multiple MPEG files and downloaded a file from a server via my browser, just to show off), and there were only a handful of page faults over the course of about 50 minutes.

what if I am using a legacy BIOS system. Do create a /boot partition instead of efi ?

Very useful video! Thanks from Argentina!

Thanks, this really help!

Hi,
I am having a 160gb HDD. Can I use its full capacity with Linux or is it the same as in windows (149gb usable)?
Thanks for your answers.

I got an error "an attempt to configure apt to install additional packages from the media failed"

Not using ubuntu, but this helped with nobara manual partition. Its mostly the same, boot efi is fat32 swap is linuxswap and / and /home is ext4. I believe most other distros are similar.

This is the best video on how to partition the drive. I have been so confused with that. Thanks a lot.

I do not have the "Installation type" step as an option!?

If i want my ssd to boot on two different motherboard, 1st mobo is UEFI boot, 2nd mobo is Legacy/mbr boot. Should i add /boot partition with ext4 format?

Дякую друже! Ввів запит і приємно здивувався, що відео від земляка має найбільше переглядів (79тис), зроблю все можливе від мене щоб і лайків побільшало. Ще раз щиро вдячний!!!

useless video

Hay ALU many thanks this was very east to follow, as I was struggling with partition. I didn't have EFI in list to format, so just left as is.

Great explanation, thankx.
I have used Linux many years already but forget sometimes details when I have to do a new installation.
Although I'm smart enough to keep my data safe. :)

What bothers me is I lose the vertical scroll arrows after every update. I prefer these arrows over the scroll wheel of the mouse and using the scrollbar doesn't offer the precision of the scrollbar arrows. Sometimes changing config settings in GTK brings them back only to have them disappear after another update. Currently, nothing has worked and I gave up trying to find a way to get them back and am looking for a desktop that doesn't try to get rid of the scroll arrows.

thank u

Thank you so much.

Very useful. thank you

Thank you! I didn't understand why you did that last step, was it just to "show" that sharing disk space between OS is possible?

I need help please SGX DISABLED BY bios what can I do?

Very useful, thanks!

Thank Yooooooo, I have been trying to install UBUNTU with XFS file system for 3 days , I have made about 10 attempts. Your instructions is the only one that worked 👍👍👍👍

Root partition is super important. 28gb never enough for computer science package installation.

Successfully installed ubuntu, 🙂thank you

Thank you for your video

Thank you for the video, I recently installed Ubuntu 22.10 and created just EFI and root / partition without creating one for swap. The installer was intelligent enough to create a 2G /swapfile automatically and include that in /etc/fstab.

Amazing video!

Great explanation, clear and to the point. Thank you so much for this video, very helpful. Great work! Thumbs up! 👍

Дякую Вам за дуже корисну інструкцію! Ви висвітлили декілька таких моментів, про які я раніше не чув у інших мануалах. Здавалося б, що для досвідчених користувачів Лінукс вони прості, проте для новачків варто приділити їм увагу.

This is great, thank you!

Your are awesome. Thank you 😊 ❤️

Wonderful presentation. Many knowledge. Thank you!!!

Thanks.

Storage is cheap. Parallel access is more responsive. MTBF is considered. Shared partitions is preferred for some instances. Multiple different distros for different objectives is stable yet unstable. ...

Shared boot partition /boot (fat16 or fat32, max addressable size to transfer some data locally with auto strip out security and ownership details)
Not shared root partition (any filesystem.sss)
Some distros share type "ABC" /home
Some other distros share type "DEF" /home
Some spaces to copy and paste and share linux data (ext3, windows can see if drivers installed) install ntfs read not write on some but not all distros
All distros share swap on 2.5" HDD
... ...
Physical disks needed are minimum 3 for /root, /home, swap
Distros needed are - gaming(auto update to stable, inform for beta), multi media watching, "office work", helpdesk for old folks, testing, ... ...

Still trying to figure out how to minimise chassis space

Does boot require its separate partition ?
