    I think the partitioning itself is fine, but I wouldn’t have 3 operating systems on a 256 GB NVMe, because I’d be running out of space a lot.

    if you won’t ever use Windows, you can nuke it. Then I’d consider making one of the Linux ones a VM - if you’re trying out that distro. That will cut down 12 partitions to 5.

    Lastly, you can look into btrfs to make better use of space between (the current) p11 and p12: you can make them subvolumes that won’t eat up each other’s storage when not in use.







  • That happens when I select the wrong kernel in the systemd boot menu, before that screen. Doing nothing after an upgrade also selects the wrong version by default, it’s kinda annoying. I have to select the most up to date version and press Ctrl-D to make it the default on the next boot.

    If that’s also what happens here, maybe a solution could be to keep only one kernel version and its fallback. But idk if you’re using systemd-boot or grub
