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.
Some of the responses I got were about how the swap partition is useless, and someone else replied to them that they were wrong. I haven't responded to these people because I don't yet understand who's right. I'll use a swap file or just no swap altogether once I check for myself if the anti-swap people are nutters. I assume temporary files aren't saved to swap but instead to temp so I can't imagine what it's used for on an SSD.
I found yet another thing I'd need to manually install with OpenSUSE Leap (and at that point I may aswell use Arch with all it's documentation glory). I didn't have any of these issues with Ubuntu-based distros so I'm doing a fresh install with Kubuntu.
I'm gonna LVM it with two distros and a shared data partition.
