I just got a new laptop and installed Linux on it. I mainly run OpenSUSE.

Getting full encryption on both was a bit of a challenge and I had no idea what I’m doing. Will having the swap partition in the middle break things? Did I really need so many partitions (Mint and OpenSUSE don’t show up in eachother’s boot menu)?

I’m probably not gonna change this layout (because reinstallation seems like a pain) unless the swap partition’s position is a problem. I’m just curious how many mistakes I made.

EDIT: I’m not upgrading my drive capacity. I do not need it.

    So you don’t plan on installing any additional packages or downloading anything off the internet?

        Again, so you don’t plan on installing anything extra or downloading stuff off the web? Lol.

        I tried running arch in about 115GB of space, it wasn’t too bad but I had my /home directory on a separate drive. There’s no way I could get away with my OS+Home Directories on something as laughably small as that, unless I was just testing for a few weeks.
