Disk partitioning means dividing your storage into sections. At a minimum, you should have a root ("/") partition. Advanced users may also create separate partitions for /home, swap, and other directories. Here are some tips to configure disk partitioning:
Root (/) Partition: Allocate 20-30 GB for the root partition containing the operating system files.
Swap Partition: Assign 2 times the amount of RAM for the swap partition.
/home Partition: Dedicate the remaining space to the /home partition for user data.
Separate Partition: Consider a separate /boot partition for boot files and, if needed, a /var partition for variable data.
Backup: Always back up data before partitioning to prevent data loss.
