From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

How did you partition your disk before installing Linux? Do you regret how you set it up?

I'm looking for some real users experiences about this and I'm trying to find the best approach for my setup.

Thank you for sharing!

I enjoy the way OpenSuse Tumbleweed set it up:

what command did you use to get that tree view, I thought it was a df flag but its not.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh I didn't notice I didn't include the command (twice!).

It's lsblk without any arguments.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Thank you. Odd it doesnt show network attached storage (I was going to use this method to show my partitions but I have like 3 NFS drives I use for personal, med, and long term storage)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Oh yeah, because it stands for list block devices
