Partition proposal was: 2GB - Swap 40GB - btrfs root 840GB - XFS home
2GB swap with 8GB RAM does not sound healthy for hibernation - should the proposal not be at least the RAM size?
Two shoutouts here:
1. You want suspend-to-disk aka hibernate? Your hibernate file or partition needs to be more than 50% of your RAM, 50%+1MB is minimum for "safe"
How do you make that figure? By estimating the compression and that buffers+cache do not need to be stored? But then, there might be already some swap in use.
(I have 8 GiB RAM and 1.4 GiB of swap in use)
2. Using "Tumbleweed" with its often and big updates needs SPAAACE on the Rootfs (/)
Absolutely!
In your case, you have the space, go for minimum the double of the proposal for the rootfs, and save yourself some headaches.
Or triple.

Given that laptops often come with limited ssd's you are creating fud for new users. this whole snapper eats your space fud is nonsense. snapper takes as much space as permit in the configurations. on the subject of swap, the expand option was hidden in the installer leading to confusion for new users when they find hibernation does not work. unless the installer has changed the option should be more prominent. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
