      Same, except I also keep /var on a separate partition (old FreeBSD habit), as the I/O characteristics of /var are usually very different from rest of /

      Same: EFI, then / is small like 50GB, and home is the remaining of disk. My swap is the size of RAM so I could hibernate but in fact never use it really, as my system either sleep or if shutdowned, can boot in a few seconds. You cannot go wrong with the setup from @buwho@lemmy.ml.

      There was a time when I had (and we needed) complicated partition… one for / really small like a few MB, and basically one for bin, etc, var, use, home, tmp (not a lot of RAM at the time so tmp was on disk, not in ram) etc.
