Perfect timing for continuation of this thread.

My new ly builtPC (replacing Windows XP on a ancient Dell) is home and I'm getting acquainted with a simple standard debian Linux installation that is all-in-one-partition except for swap.

Now finalizing the partitioning design for the "real" debian install.

So the resumption of this thread, with tips on partitioning, UEFI and SSD is most welcome !!

Ideas duly extracted from the messages for further consideration.

Hoo boy!

There are likely more variations that you will get answers.

Some questions:

1. software that you must have (small amounts or large amounts)

2. have you /are you thinking of doing any container or vm stuff

3. what have you used just recently

I set my systems up different than most but then it seems my work patterns

are 'weird' so I make things so they work for me and am not too worried about

what they look to other people. (Have had 'experts' say what I was doing was

weird!)
