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!

Well played NSA..! Anyway :

fabien@debian2080ti:~$ df -h
Filesystem                         Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/debian2080ti--vg-root   28G   25G  1.8G  94% /
/dev/mapper/debian2080ti--vg-home  439G  390G   27G  94% /home
/dev/sda3                          1.7T  1.6T   62G  97% /media/fabien/a77cf81e-fb2c-44a7-99a3-6ca9f15815091

/dev/nvme0n1p2                     456M  222M  210M  52% /boot
/dev/nvme0n1p1                     511M  5.9M  506M   2% /boot/efi
udev                                16G     0   16G   0% /dev
tmpfs                              3.2G  1.9M  3.2G   1% /run
tmpfs                               16G  168K   16G   1% /dev/shm
tmpfs                              5.0M   24K  5.0M   1% /run/lock
tmpfs                              3.2G  2.6M  3.2G   1% /run/user/1000

so basically NVMe for system and /home in .5T and HDD 2T for backups and rarely accessed files, ext4.

No dual boot, no Windows. No regrets.
