I have to replace the old 2.5" SATA disk with new HDD (SATA) and make a clean installation (Ubuntu 18). What would be basic partitioning scheme for laptop 1TB (SATA) hard drive and 4GB RAM? I want to have separate partitions /usr, /home, /var and /tmp
Please advice approximate reasonable size for these. Does ubuntu 18.04 use swap file or swap partition?
The basic partitioning scheme would be the default partitioning scheme of the Ubuntu installer: one single partition (and depending on how you boot, an EFI partition). Current versions of Ubuntu by default use a swap file instead of a dedicated swap partition.
For this purpose I would create 4-5 partitions:
/(at least 15-20 GB, depends on which programs you'll use)/boot(~512MB)/home(rest of you free space)- efi-partition mounted at
/boot/efi(~512MB) /swap(since you have only 4GB RAM I would take at least 8GB for it)
You may also use a swapfile located at / instead of an extra partition.
