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.
EDIT: I'm not upgrading my drive capacity. I do not need it.
So you don't plan on installing any additional packages or downloading anything off the internet?
I have 60GB for Mint and 90GB for OpenSUSE. 25GB is just a reference point.
Again, so you don't plan on installing anything extra or downloading stuff off the web? Lol.
I tried running arch in about 115GB of space, it wasn't too bad but I had my /home directory on a separate drive. There's no way I could get away with my OS+Home Directories on something as laughably small as that, unless I was just testing for a few weeks.
If I run out of space I'll just wipe and reinstall. Simple.
What's the point then? Just to try each one for a few weeks to pick the one you like the most? In that case, it makes sense
