FWIW I give /boot 1GB and use the default of 3 kernels (+1 rescue). I would add +250MB for each additional kernel. If you want to be extra cautious add another 500MB on top of that. Unless you are generating a lot of data the 1TB NVMe drive should be plenty for the OS *and* your personal files. Use the 4TB spinning drive for things like videos, large picture collections, local backups, etc. Basically use the NVMe for "main line" storage and the 4TB drive for "near line" storage. I saw swap mentioned along the way.... This is a matter of personal preference. I'm old-school, and I tend to use a lot of RAM (too many firefox tabs), so I have a swap partition in addition to the "zram" swap. -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected] Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
