What partitions to create and how much space to allocate for Debian?

Question

linux

Hello!
I want to install Debian on my home PC. There is the following configuration:

• 16gb ram
  
• 128gb ssd
  
• 1tb hdd
  

What sections to create, how much space to allocate for them and on which hard drive? It would be great to get a list of how to break everything :)
The main thing is that there should be a fast loading of the OS and software. All other files will be on hdd. Also, is there a need for a swap partition?
Thank you!

Answer 1

Cyril , Roll everything in / on the SSD. If the SSD is large, then /home can be allocated separately on it (it will be easier with reinstalling the distribution, but the space will be spent less economically).
swap can create a giga for 4 if there is not enough RAM (16 or less). But this can be done not only as a separate section, but simply as a file on another section later.
HDD separately for downloads, music, movies, games, media collections and the like. But by no means for /home.

Answer 2

For beginners, I would recommend using the usual "auto-partitioning" of the disk, the only thing that can be done is to immediately move home to the HDD.
As you understand and experience, you will be able to derive a breakdown scheme for yourself, because here all felt-tip pens taste different.

Answer 3

For starters, trust the installer and create everything on ssd. Then, create one (or more) partitions on the hdd and mount it to your home, and use a large and non-system thread to store something .....
