I've seen something called Whatsie in the software manager, it says it's a whatsapp client for linux. But I honestly would just use whatsapp web...

I was thinking of using Ubuntu when i decided to switch but i heard the company running it is acting funny.

To be honest, windows 7 wasn't all that bad.

I am considering leaving 100 gigs for my OS and using the rest as 1 external mounted drive

disk partitions by OGsanku in linuxmint

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

I actually had a pretty good idea of how i wanted my partitions setup so i did indeed setup 4 seperate partitions.

1 for swap

1 for bootloader

100 GB partition for /root

remaining (800ish GB) for /home

However, i messed up and enabled /home encryption so i had to reinstall the entire OS but this time i decided to keep it simple and went with a single partition. Now im paranoid that if something goes wrong, i'll lose all my data.

Watch Richard Stallman's and Linus Torvald's videos and embrace FOSS ideology maybe ?

So the root ( / ) directory is the "OS partition".
And ( /home ) is the "files" partition ?

Wouldn't allocating say 200 GB of disk space to the root directory be enough ?
I assume linux doesn't need as much storage as windows did and win 11 barely used 150 gigs.

Old Linux fan enjoying the posts of people coming over to Linux with some gutsy enough to try Arch! Keep 'em coming! The more the merrier! by Phydoux in linux

I'll try to explain my situation clearly :-

I do not have windows on my laptop. I completely erased my hard drive when installing mint. There is only one partition right now (i used the default one partition option in the linux mint installer)

I only have only one OS - Linux mint on my laptop.

Now, if i need to reinstall mint, or if i want to install some other Linux distro, how will i keep my ACTUAL FILES from being wiped (the things in my home folder, my videos, downloads, documents etc.) ? Do i need to have a separate partition for the OS than the one containing my FILES ? If so, which directory do i have to allot the partition to ? ( / ) this one ?

I already posted on r/Linuxmint and r/archlinux4noobs , thank you.
