   /boot/efi 600 MiB
   /boot/ 1024 MiB
   / 70 GiB
   /swap/ 6.52 GiB
   /home/ the rest of a 931.51 GiB SSD

     @tsunderehair @SuperSnekFriend yes, vfat. There's a way to have FDE, Opensuse does it, but unlocking takes ages. I don't use snapshots

     @tsunderehair @SuperSnekFriend i think i could do it with grub too, but i just use systemd-boot. I just have /boot with the ESP flag, I mount it @ /boot, and run bootctl install (when on a distro like arch, debian or gentoo, or in NixOS I just enable the option to use systemd-boot instead of grub), and... that's it.
     
     BTRFS subvolumes are nice, but I wish software could deal with them better.

     @mischievoustomato@tsundere.love @SuperSnekFriend@poa.st oh, but then /boot has to be formatted in fat? I'd prefer my system subvolume snapshots to encompass my /boot.

     @mischievoustomato
     The point is that I do not want to use Btrfs and LVMs.

     The Fedora installer is forcing the use of IEC units.

     @SuperSnekFriend depends what you're doing, generally i keep my /boot partition around 30GB big but that's because i have phat kernels and too many of them
     
     similarly, i use 20gb of swap but i also keep a lot of stuff in ram+swap so

     @RedTechEngineer @tsunderehair @SuperSnekFriend that's fine. I wonder though, when I get more storage, will I go to XFS for the faster speed or keep using BTRFS for the compression? Im not sureo.

     @mischievoustomato @SuperSnekFriend You literally do either /boot/efi or /efi (Assuming you have a bootloader capable of running .efi files outside of /boot) because otherwise you'd need your entire root formatted into fat32, an ancient file system that won't support individual files larger than 4 GiB not to mention having no encryption support and little journaling
     
     You could do:
     /efi (Its own partition, 512 MiB, but you need a bootloader capable of booting files outside /boot)
     / (The entire root, about 50 GiB to be the safest)
     /home (Its own partition, as big as possible)
     Add swap if you please
     
     If you need btrfs, you can just do your /home partition into btrfs, that way if it commits seppuku it doesn't kill your whole system
