How bad is my partitioning?
(lemmy.ml)
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.
The pain of keeping it around will outweigh the pain of needing it and not having it.
Quick boot into windows to help a friend test something on your machine?
And suddenly, that's where you'll be spending the whole afternoon. I agree with the others who say a VM is probably good enough.
I absolutely do not trust Windows 11 to be a good dual-boot citizen so I'm going to remove it. Gonna replace OpenSUSE with Kubuntu so I'll do it then.
