    Who the hell not manually partitions their system? You guys have empty hard drives?

      Well if you’re moving from Windows, you can just nuke the entire thing with automatic partitioning and it feels so damn good

      But since that was a long time ago, these days I keep my / and /home on not just separate partitions but separate drives since all my SSDs are only 1 TB. The installer can do whatever the hell it wants to / but /home has to stay untouched.

        What junk can you possibly fill multiple TB drives with? I have a mini desktop with a TB drive and it’s only got about 7.5 GB on it. And I think that’s a lot. My pathetic little home server is a measly 500GB and has just 37GB on it. I even have another computer that I use with 125GB drive. Barely 1/3 filled.
