I'm another person who has dabbled in Linux for many years and disgusted with Windows 10 so Ubuntu 18.04 LTS is now my primary OS (I miss Mandrake/Mandriva).
Anyway I'm wondering what to set in GParted as the flag for my main data drive (3TB with videos, docs, etc). LVM? Does it matter much? I don't want to make the wrong choice and find later that I'd have to repartition. Also, GParted shows the filesystem for that drive as ntfs. What to reformat it to?
Also,
- I've changed partition names to C, D, E etc to mirror a Windows drive naming convention. Is there a way I can further tweak things to have a more 'friendly' view when moving files rather than /dev/sdb1 etc
- How do I get KDE to stop requiring a password after being idle?
- How to change from KDE back to the vanilla Ubuntu interface (or to GNOME if I install it) - that is, from one GUI to another.
Thanks for any replies.
