Linux partitioning recommendations

I'd like to share with you my Linux partitioning recommendations. You will learn how to partition a hard drive for the installation of Linux alongside Windows, as well as for the Linux-only installation. I will also show you how to partition a new drive for data storage.

The most accurate comment I can make from watching your videos is that you are not an "Average Linux User." Great content

[treyquattro]

super-useful episode! I think partitioning is one thing that keeps users away from the more complicated Linux distros (they all are compared to other desktop OSs!) Those of us who were around in prehistoric PC times aren't so daunted, but it's still a leap of faith thinking and hoping that you've set up your partition table correctly for the lifetime of an installation right at the start!

A plain, simple, wholeheartedly big thankyou for this detailed video in simplified and visually depicted format. This will stay with me.

Thank you for the video, I recently installed Ubuntu 22.10 and created just EFI and root / partition without creating one for swap. The installer was intelligent enough to create a 2G /swapfile automatically and include that in /etc/fstab.

OMGosh I jad to burn theough 100 videos of people mumbling something to find that. Thank you. This is perfect.

This is the best video on how to partition the drive. I have been so confused with that. Thanks a lot.

Thank I have been trying to install UBUNTU with XFS file system for 3 days, I have made about 10 attempts. Your instructions is the only one that worked 👍👍👍👍

One advantage of putting your swap on a separate partition is you can omit it when making an image of your drive using Clonezilla. There is no way to do this if your use a file for swap.

This is a great video, thank you! I watched several others who did not explain things very well. Your explanation was very clear and concise. This the best explained and demonstrated video on the subject that I have found. Well done!

Man, u can't imagine how much u helped me

Not using ubuntu, but this helped with nobara manual partition. Its mostly the same, boot efi is fat32 swap is linuxswap and / and /home is ext4. I believe most other distros are similar.

[WanderSec]

thank you now I finally understand how to install OS when using manual partition

[tiitulitii]

This was really needed. Thank you so much!

[ColiDog]

Great video. Can you do a video on how to Move the Home partition to a different Hard drive on Linux and shrink or remove the old home partition, please?

[jRafayam]
