Hi Jerry, thanks for your reply!
Good to know about swap - my limited knowledge is from almost 20 years ago during my studies
.One argument for a separate swap space would be that I don't want too many write operations on my SSD but I think I'll drop that SSD for faster boot idea anyway - would have had some beauty in it but let's keep it simple.
Options during install:
- No encryption (as that feels like it would make my system somewhat fragile - maybe not justified and just from my old Floppy Disk days)
- No LVM (also for simplicity and stability - I don't see much use in my setup apart from maybe Volume snapshots?)
- Download additional drivers during setup yes (thought that might be a problem but I also tried installing without with same behaviour as said.
- Download updates during setup yes
- Partition tables as described
I think that's about it - the installation wizard doesn't give more options apart from keyboard layout and location.
What do you think about me doing another new installation as simply as possible and going forward from there? No SSD; Just a 70GB Root and Rest Home partition on the HDD and boot from there; No additional drivers; No updates during installation; no LVM/encryption.
Is there a possibility to get my installed system boot into some secure mode or command line interface for further analysis?
