Can someone give me some advice on Disk/Partition

Yeah so I’m gonna leave a image of my partition and can anyone tell me if it’s good the way it is or does it need some changes? Yeah I really don’t know anything concerning partitioning so I’m just seeking some guidance and suggestions.

I don’t see your image of your partition setup.

You haven’t attached an image yet, therefore it’s difficult to offer advice.
Alternatively, you could open a terminal and enter:-

sudo parted -l

Copy and paste the output within Preformatted text </>
This will also show your partition info.

It may be helpful to see the output from lsblk -fmp as well.

Attach your image please.

I apologize guys my fault.

Your partitions look fine to me
/dev/sda1 is your ESP (Efi System partition)
/dev/sda2 is your System (/) partition also containing user folders and files

Is there something specific that you wish to do with the partitions?

If you are intending to manipulate the partitions, please ensure that you have a restorable backup of your personal data.

No nothing specific. Whenever I installed Ubuntu I just gave it the entire disk to partition itself with so I imagine it did a pretty swell job. Nice!!!

The only thing I have that you don’t is a Swap partition. I don’t like the Swap file. Wastes too much space. Aslo my EFI partition is much smaller. That depends your usage. From AI search, here’s there comments:

The size of an EFI system partition (ESP) depends on several factors, including:

  • Boot loaders

The partition should have enough space for boot loaders and other files needed for booting.

  • Kernels

If you plan to install multiple kernels, you should make the partition at least 1 GiB.

  • Firmware updates

The partition should have enough space for firmware updates.

  • UEFI implementation

For early or buggy UEFI implementations, the partition should be at least 512 MiB.

  • Dual booting

If you’re dual booting with Windows, the partition should be at least 300 MiB for drives with a 4096 logical sector size.

  • Formatting

To format the partition to FAT32, it should be at least 36 MiB on drives with 512 byte logical sector size.

  • Fedora installer

The Fedora installer includes an ESP of between 200 MB and 600 MB by default.

Here are some other things to consider when calculating free space:

  • The recovery image, winre.wim, is typically between 500-700 MB.

  • The file system itself can take up additional space. For example, NTFS may reserve 5-15 MB or more on a 750 MB partition.
