Linux mint on SSD how to properly partition a disk?

Question

linux

Hello everyone, I decided to scare the penguins, put a mint on the HDD, tried it, clattered, it seems cool, systemd-analyze gave out 50s. and I wanted to try to put a mint on an SSD
, and here are a lot of questions from a Windows user.
1. How to correctly partition a disk or just the root directory and / home and boot (Uefi) directory if I understand correctly
2. How do SSDs relate to this? (in my case Samsung 970 PRO 512 GB

Answer 1

The installer offers a default layout. But you're smart, you don't trust him, you trust us... That's
right! Split the SSD into 26 logical drives of equal size, format it to NTFS and install Windows.

Answer 2

by default

Answer 3

/boot and UEFI are different partitions. /boot can be left in the root partition, and without UEFI you will not be able to boot in non-legacy mode. This partition will install grub.
If you try, you can leave everything by default.
Modern SSDs are almost impossible to grind to death.
But if there is a desire to get confused:
a separate / boot / var / tmp / home and swap partition
/ tmp, / var and swap are transferred to the hard disk so as not to waste the ssd resource. /tmp can generally be taken out in tmpfs if there is a lot of RAM.

Answer 4

I usually mark up like this:
swap - 4-16 GB, depending on the amount of RAM. If not enough, you can add a root swap file - 40 GB, home is
enough for the system and software - everything else. Of course, there may be other markup for some other needs.

Answer 5

1) No difference, just like HDD. If there are no special tasks.
2) Nothing. The disk generally cares about everything, even if you hammer nails into them.

Answer 6

If there is only one system, then you do not need to mark anything.

Answer 7

To each his own. However, it is desirable that /home be a separate partition. You can default, you can manually 30-40 GB under the root partition, swap approximately equal to RAM (in terms of volume), the rest under / home.
PS
In general, the swap partition should simply be at least 512 MB, and the correspondence of the swap = RAM volumes is only a recommendation (for it, you can allocate as much space as you like from the free disk space)
