Contents

How many GB do I need for Linux?

The base install of Linux requires about 4 GB of space. In reality, you should allocate at least 20 GB of space for the Linux installation. There is not a specified percentage, per se; it is really up to the end user as to how much to rob from their Windows partition for the Linux install.
