Hello
Finally I bought the laptop with Ryzen 5, it arrived yesterday. At first I backed up (clonezilla) the whole brand new system (Windows 10) before running for first time to have a virgin copy of the original system. Today I will erase the disks to create partitions
and install both Windows 10 and Linux, but I'm not sure about how to organize the space. The laptop comes with a 1Tb HDD and a 128Gb SDD. Windows 10 is installed on the 128Gb SDD and the whole 1Tb HDD is empty and available for data.
Well, I have two options to organize (partitionate) and want to hear (read) opinions:
OPTION 1:
- Install Windows 10 on the 1Tb HDD using 150Gb
- Leave the remainder of 1Tb HDD for NTFS data partition (shared for Win10+Linux)
- Install Debian 10 on the 128Gb SDD
(Can Linux run on "sdb" (Windows on "sda")?)
OPTION 2:
- Install Windows 10 on the 1Tb HDD using 150Gb
- Install Debian 10 on the 1Tb HDD using 150Gb
- Leave the remainder of 1Tb HDD for NTFS data partition
(shared for Win10+Linux)
- Use the 128Gb SDD to edit/render FHD/4K video faster than in HDD
I guess that the original Windows 10 is on SDD to load faster and run programs slightly, but Linux is lighter, my current laptop has a normal HDD and never required it to load Linux or run programs faster (except for some
games or apps used ocasionally). Windows is a big elephant while Linux is a cheetah. So I think it would be better to use the SDD rendering videos, I know the disk is short but once the videos are edited and rendered they are stored on external USB disk and
probably I will begin to move to DVD since it is a lot of "dead space" on external disks that may have a more dynamic use.
About wifi... Do anybody use RTL8821CE with a latest Debian
10 kernel (package) without installing an external driver? My old laptop has RTL8723 that required to install rtlwifi_new driver (from GIT) but currently runs fine with the kernel driver, would it work also for RTL8821CE?
I found a post in a forum saying that rtlwifi_new also supports RTL8821CE ...
Well, what do you think?
Thanks,
Mike
