I just got a new laptop and installed Linux on it. I mainly run OpenSUSE.

Getting full encryption on both was a bit of a challenge and I had no idea what I’m doing. Will having the swap partition in the middle break things? Did I really need so many partitions (Mint and OpenSUSE don’t show up in eachother’s boot menu)?

I’m probably not gonna change this layout (because reinstallation seems like a pain) unless the swap partition’s position is a problem. I’m just curious how many mistakes I made.

EDIT: I’m not upgrading my drive capacity. I do not need it.

    Can’t speak to your exact machine but nowadays the license tends to be tied to the hardware.

    If you are capable of manual partitioning then you should be able to reinstall Windows quickly if needed.
