Partitions for Ubuntu and Windows 7 dual boot on SSD + HDD setup
1 answer
I have a 128GB SSD with Windows 10 installed on it and I also have a 1TB HDD on my computer. I want to dual boot ubuntu along side with windows 10 but I don't know how much space I need to give to ubunto and if I should even install it on the same drive as windows, because I roughly have 60GB's on my SSD left but I thought it would be better to keep them like that since windows always has updates and that sort of stuff.
I mainly use windows for gaming and pretty much everything, ubuntu is for college programming purposes.
Sorry if I missnamed any term but I'm still a beginner to all this sort of stuff.

You may also use the partition and data allocation between SSD and HDD from the answer to this question: Do I need Intel Smart Response when installing Ubuntu?

Although this question has many possibilities, according to the needs of each one.
I would install in particular:
An ext4 partition, of 1 gigabytes, for /boot in the SDD.
An ext4 partition of 30 gigabytes for /on the HDD.
A partition exchange system, of 4 gigas to swap on the HDD.
An ext4 partition, of 40 gigabytes, for /home on the HDD.

Most desktops do not need /boot partition. And swap is not a partition exchange system, but more for use if RAM if full of active programs. Ubuntu with 17.04 or later does not create a swap partition, but uses a swap file, but will use an existing swap if found. How much for /home or /mnt/data whether NTFS or ext4 depends greatly on how much data you want or will have.

I would prefer to do not have separate swap partition and to setup a swap file instead that. Separate boot partition is required when you are using LVM, etc.
