  • Huh. I was going to have an external HD for games with two partitions: a larger one for PC, formatted in ntfs, and a smaller one for Linux, for if I want to try gaming with it, and formatted in ext4. You're suggesting that both should be in exfat, instead?

  • I appreciate the input, thank you. When you say live USB, is it one that contains the original data used to create the distro — like, e.g. what I'd download from Mint? Or do you mean to just copy the whole LInux partition (given that it's small enough) onto a USB?

  • I looked into this little bit.

    So on a 512gb hd an e.g. breakdown:

    Windows 150gb
    Linux / 30gb
    Linux /home ? 70gb
    Data (nfts format, shared with both os) 262gb (or whatever is actually left over)

    (I'll have an external HD for games)

  • I appreciate the tips, thank you. When you mention making a separate home partition in Linux: my understanding is that we unallocate hard drive space from Windows and, when we first install Linux, it will use that free space to make its own partition. Are you referring to another step, beyond that?
