How did you partition your disk before installing Linux? Do you regret how you set it up?
I’m looking for some real users experiences about this and I’m trying to find the best approach for my setup.
Thank you for sharing!

Oh I didn’t notice I didn’t include the command (twice!).
It’s
lsblkwithout any arguments.Thank you. Odd it doesnt show network attached storage (I was going to use this method to show my partitions but I have like 3 NFS drives I use for personal, med, and long term storage)
Oh yeah, because it stands for
list block devices
