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 used to split my drive in half to dual boot. But I've never booted back into windows since installing Linux Mint.

Should have just wiped the drive and installed Linux

I set up a dual boot over the winter, I've gone back to windows maybe 3 times at most.

I'll still keep it around in case I ever decide to dabble in games that use rootkit anticheat (though since quitting destiny 2 I don't see that happening lmao) and for other very occasional utility, but I'm definitely thinking of shrinking that partition even further
