What partitions do I need for Ubuntu?

To share data with another Linux system, choose EXT4. Description: other operating systems (Windows, MacOS..) cannot read nor write in the Ubuntu partitions, but Ubuntu can read and write in any partition. If you want to share files between Ubuntu and the other systems, it is recommended to create a data partition.

What partitions are needed for Linux?

The standard partitions scheme for most home Linux installs is as follows:

  • A 12-20 GB partition for the OS, which gets mounted as / (called “root”)
  • A smaller partition used to augment your RAM, mounted and referred to as swap.
  • A larger partition for personal use, mounted as /home.
