Hi,
Just got a new Acer, want to dual boot Fedora, and just want to double check the layout of the pre-partitioned SSD drive
sdb1: label: ESP
sdb2: type: unknown ; label: none ; size: 16.00 MiB ; filesystem: unformatted
sdb3: label: Acer
sdb4: label: Recovery
What is sdb2?
My first guess is that it's just empty space and I can make an extended partition (or 2 extra for a total of 5? I havent partitioned a SSD before) for /root and /swap here (I have a secondary hd which i assume i'll symlink to the /home drive). However, I looked online a few links mention a Microsoft Reserved Partition of about the same size. Can I delete or should I find another way?
I assume I should keep sdb1,3, and 4 (although I did make a system image and recovery usb as back up just in case I need the warranty).
Thanks!
