How did you partition your disk before installing Linux? Do you regret how you set it up?

I’m looking for some real users experiences about this and I’m trying to find the best approach for my setup.

Thank you for sharing!

    In my first install I had different home and root partitions. That was a big mistake. Once set, you cannot resize them properly and you are fucked if they are not perfect for your need. In my case the root partition got to small. After some time I just reinstalled with a single partition and would do that again.

      This is untrue.

      I’ve resized and moved partitions on a remote host during a reboot – i.e. doing the change in a batch during that boot.

      It’s possible, and for most other resizes it’s easy enough and worth it for the benefits. Do you want to do it daily? No. Do you want to half-ass it and not pay attention during? Also no.
