partitions

My apologies if that has already been answered as I did not see anything. My question is this. I have seen posts all over the internet for and against multiple partitions.

Hello, I intend to install Fedora Workstation 36 with a separate home partition. I have a 120GB SSD, a 1TB HDD, and 8GB RAM, so I am thinking of doing the partitioning as follows: SDD: \efi (± 500MB) \ (the rest) HDD: \swap (± 4GB) \home (1TB) (swap is on HDD because Fedora uses now zram, so...

Good colleagues! I've been a Linux user for a while, I use it on a daily basis, but sometimes I have to do some things on Windows, so I ended up installing a virtual machine. So, I currently use Debian, by mistake and inexperience in the installation of my OS I ended up installing the testing...

Now that I am finally able to run the distro on my machine, I simply cannot install it on its hard drive. First I could create some partitions to install Fedora but it crashed and a alert message is shown on screen: "Anaconda is unable to create /var/run/ anaconda.pid because the file already...

First off, need to say my PC is a mess (later). Have an HP Pavillion tower desktop, was running Windows 7 until using a utility on the Registry and only shows the "GRUB loading ... grub rescue". Haven't got round to dual-booting Mint or Manjaro (or both) on it just yet. What I meant by my...

I am running Ubuntu 16.4LTS AMD64. When I installed the system I made the Linux partition only 25 gig (mistake, I know but thats done.) Now I want to resize the partitions and G-Parted won't let me. I get this message for the windows NTFS partition, and I can't resize it...
