Might be worthwhile to use LVM for a more adjustable partitioning just in case. I made the mistake of making root 50G and I've been fighting with it for a while. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] neo@lemmy.comfysnug.space 8 points 3 years ago (1 child) swap is there so u can hibernate rather than shutdown permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] devfuuu@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago Yeah, 32g is barely enough for what I do daily at work, so I have similar amount of ram combined with similar amount of swap file so I can safely hibernate even when the ram is full. permalink fedilink source parent [–] skullgiver@popplesburger.hilciferous.nl 2 points 3 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) [This comment has been deleted by an automated system] permalink fedilink source parent
