It's been a while since I touched LVM, I don't use it on my personal
machines since I don't need what it provides and when it was first
introduced in Fedora I found it slowed things down a bit.
Right now I'm changing my laptop to a 250GB SSD (from the 100GB it had
previously). It dual boots and

You don't really explain your use case. I find it's enough to run the
occasional Windows session in a VM, but if you depend on high-
performance 3D graphics (e.g. for gaming) that may not be enough. For
You could use LVM thin p for / and /home.
The advantage is LV sizes are virtual, and can be larger than the VG. So
it's an on demand pool of extents, assigned when needed by whichever LV.
The installer won't let you over commit though. So what you do is create
only / and set that volume size to
First, I strongly recommend to put /home in a separated partition. It
will save you time any time you make a fresh install.
Second, may I ask what use you give to your Windows? I mean, why you
keep a dual boot?

Safest, however, is two partitions, without LVM: / and /home. That way,
you can re-install from scratch if you have to without worrying

Gaming, probably need to dual boot. Otherwise use a VM. If you haven't

I disabled SELinux. It gets on my nerves.
I've a dual boot in my laptop, but it's just for a warranty thing.
It's squeezed in a 30GB partition. And for the next Fedora release it
will be wiped.
Glad you find a solution that suits you.
