       @selea I think everyone who doesn't hate themselves when having to resize the system do this and if there's really something meaningfully big in there, then there's another disk mounted onto that point so it's easy to grow later on.

       @selea what's the point of having separate partitions nowadays, even in servers? I don't see much point in it. In case of major disk upgrades symlinks still work just fine across disks and partitions. For desktops you can just copy the old disk to new one and resize / to fill it.

       @seleaExcept for swap, right? Because it's the tradition. And for suspend to disk.

       Someone pointed out that SWAP needs it own partition - except it does not :)You can easily have one big partition and let SWAP live on a so called "swapfile" on your filesystem.Section 3 on this article describes the steps:https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Swap
