[Solved] how to use fdisk and use uefi with gpt scheme

[brave anchor]

Guys I don’t know how to use fdisk, I’m beginner

[south pollen]

use cfdisk it is much more intuitive and easier to use

[brave anchor]

I’m going try to install arch again in a bit later (not now), can you say what steps should I do to have UEFI with gpt, like here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/installation_guide#Example_layouts

[south pollen]

get a swap/boot/root partition

the generally accepted methodology for allocating space for swap is 2*RAM

mount your boot partition to /mnt/boot/efi

the remainder of space in your hard disk can be allocated for the /mnt partition

[mossy thicket]

eh, not really

swapfiles and zram also exists

[mint nimbus]

2*ram is overkill

[south pollen]

i mean yes if your ram is above 15-20

but it's the standard methodology applied by major manufacturers such as dell so i mean it's a harmless recommendation

[mint nimbus]

8GiB swap should be the max unless theyre hibernating

cus if you have 16GiB ram
youll barely even used swap since that's only used when ram is exhausted with too much memory usage

[coral jolt]

you mean cgdisk

[mint nimbus]

there's not much cgdisk and cfdisk gives other than more features like backing up the GPT, partition name,recovering the GPT
which i doubt most people even use

[mossy thicket]

cgdisk just seems to be a worse version of cfdisk

[coral jolt]

its a better version when dealing with gpt

[mossy thicket]

I don't really see any advantages

[south pollen]

eh cfdisk is just objectively better 😈
