Ubuntu Desktop Installation Partition Sizing Formula

Solution 1:

To my experience a formula describing partition sizes in % are no use here. Absolute values I would recommend are

  • 4 GB Swap
  • 10-15 GB for OS depending on how much software you want to install
  • the rest for the home partition.

It should be sufficient for beginner to experienced user, I don't know what exact demands real power users have.
