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.
How many GB do you need for Linux?
A typical Linux installation will need somewhere between 4GB and 8GB of disk space, and you need at least a bit of space for user files, so I generally make my root partitions at least 12GB-16GB.
Is 500Gb enough for Linux?
If you’re at all concerned get the 500Gb SSD, if you’re not planning on storing anything else on the SSD’s you’ll probably get away with the 250Gb SSDs. – Basically, just do it, if you want the ‘peace of mind’ of knowing you have enough space for whatever you’ll want to do – then the 500Gb will be the better option.
