I just got a new laptop and installed Linux on it. I mainly run OpenSUSE.
Getting full encryption on both was a bit of a challenge and I had no idea what I’m doing. Will having the swap partition in the middle break things? Did I really need so many partitions (Mint and OpenSUSE don’t show up in eachother’s boot menu)?
I’m probably not gonna change this layout (because reinstallation seems like a pain) unless the swap partition’s position is a problem. I’m just curious how many mistakes I made.
I really don’t think 60 GB will be enough for daily use unless you have your home folder on a separate drive, which it doesn’t seem is the case from your screenshot.
I have mine on a separate drive and my system partition (150 GB) is half-full. Is there a reason for your 25 GB per Linux installation rule?
25GB is what Ubuntu says is the minimum, and I’m extrapolating that to all distros. Windows says 64GB. I’d be surprised if I need more than 64GB per Linux install with just software installs.
Minimum is just an indicator of what will actually work, but it’s not gonna last.
So you don’t plan on installing any additional packages or downloading anything off the internet?
