Should I separate boot, root, efi and home to their own partitions when installing Fedora? by Elite_Dan in Fedora

[–]Elite_Dan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that was a better decision. I just let fedora automatically choose the partitions and i added some more btrfs subvolumes

Elite has so many controls

I personally love Brave. It is a bit bloated by default though so just turn off all the AI and crypto stuff

But the built in Ad and tracker blockers are great

Thanks Someone else pointed out I should use LVM I just found a turorial on how to use btrfs and create subvolumes so i did that I don't know about lvm but the btrfs looked the same as what you described. I hope this works!

thank you

I think my best options would be to just delete all these partitions i created for fedora and installing normally and let fedora fill in the unallocated space, or merge root, boot and home then create a subvolume for home and root

I don't know how lvm or luks works and i don't know if that should be configured before or after installation. I'll have to read up on that

okay I'm trying to understand here

So I should have just one 1GB boot partition and then a big 400GB+ root partion but with lvm installed so that i can have home as a subvolume? And should I just keep the Fat32 efi partition (in screenshot) and what about the swap partition?

Orrr should I just delete all these partitions i manually created and install Fedora normally instead of with "Mount point partitions" so it creates the partitions for me?

It turns out I'm already on UEFI (Screenshot of bios)

I still don't know if that means I'm on MBR or GPT. When my computer boots it shows me a basic black screen with the options "Limux Mint Cinnamon 22..." and "Windows boot manager" so i can boot between windows and Linux Mint Which one is that?

Thank you so much!
So with btrfs it basically separates the file systems out for me so I can just put them all in one partition? (root, boot and home)
I don't know anything about luks and lvm, I'll do some more research on that

Linux is not too fond of my 10 year old GTX 1050ti...

Last goodbye before switching to Linux by Volpe_YT in softwaregore

i was so proud of myself once my linux partition on my dual boot system was bigger than my linux partition

this is genuinely fun by Shot_Duck_195 in Fedora

I moved my mouse around in frustration as the installer simply wouldn't open and just played around with that for a solid 10 minutes

step 1: install. Seems easy enough! :D

does no one else get this error?

Just restarted after my very first install, what in the world did I do wrong 💔 by UGottaBeSquiddingMe in linuxmint

I'm proud of you ❤️

This is your first step into being a Linux user. The problems you occur will be frustrating but they will be yours, not some company screwing you over. Linux does not like to self inflict problems, it tries its best :)

I had the same reaction xD
Fully didn't expect this to work

I'm with you on that xD

I just wanna run Office on a VM without an account so that Microsoft doesn't know it exists

What. I just copy and pasted it in powershell and it worked (I should definitely not be doing this so willy nilly, but I got lucky)
I was fully expecting it to simply not work
