Ah, gotcha! Thank you for the explanation.

Aren’t all commercial plane turbine engines high bypass turbofans? (excluding turboprop)
Serious question, because I assumed that’s how they all worked, but this sounds like it is special or in spite of and it got me wondering.
Hu, that was weird. Kinda cool animation though. Maybe it’s a new channel to binge. Thanks!
Not the person above, but if it is an issue you ever run into you are doing it “wrong”. Not really, but let me explain.
Having it on a separate partition has a few advantages like different mount flags (e.g. noexec), easier backup management (especially snapshots) and some other benefits like using your home for a new installation (like OP wants to) or it prevents some critical failures in case you accidentally fill it up (e.g. partial writes or services cannot start).
I often cannot decide on specific mount sizes either, because requirements may change depending on what you do. Hence I would just stick with some reasonable defaults for the installation and use some form of volume manager instead. If you want to use ext4, xfs etc I would recommend using LVM as it gives you a lot of freedom (resizing of volumes, snapshots and adding additional drives, mixed RAID modes etc) or there are btrfs, zfs or bcachefs to name the most common file systems which implement their own idea of storage pools and volumes.
Never should you need to resize a partition, there are more modern approaches. Create a single partition (+ a small EFI partition somewhere) and never bother with partitions ever again. The (performance) overhead is negligible and it gives so many additional benefits I didn’t even mention. Your complaint is a solved problem.
The first time I had some salsa in a restaurant I was asking if they accidentally poured dish soap into it. It was inedible for me.
I only learned later that it was cilantro and that it is genetic.
I am still feeling sorry for the remark, but it was all I could taste and didn’t know any better.
If people ask me what distro to choose I say Mint.
Unless you already know what you want and need it is simply the best distro out there to get your feet wet. It is very competent in what it is doing and can be used by anyone no matter the experience.
Even though I believe there are better distros out there this is the only one I would recommend to people new to Linux and it is still a solid choice for experienced users alike. You can use it forever or branch out from there, both are very valid choices.
Same. I forgot all about it before this post.
It was almost 20 years ago when I built a cluster using around 40 desktop computers for purely academic purposes in our lab. Since then I never heard of it again even though I was working with HPC for a few years.
