How did you partition your disk before installing Linux? Do you regret how you set it up?

I'm looking for some real users experiences about this and I'm trying to find the best approach for my setup.

Thank you for sharing!

I don't really like endeavourOS, seems like that it points more towards user friendliness than performance, which is not what I'm aiming to. I will probably install base arch, get familiar with it and then select some packages from either cachy or guarda to improve performance.

That's what I think I'm going to do, probably the best approach

I didn't really think about your last point, in fact a big distro like arch will probably never die, while, just how we saw with arcolinux, these smaller distros with smaller development teasm can die in the future.

I understand, but less packages means it's easier to manage my system. One of the reasons I'm leaning towards arch is because of its minimal approach, so that I can install only what I need.

I'm going to switch to arch for my general-purpose laptop, since I feel like kubuntu is not enough for me, I want to try a tiling WM and do some ricing.

I'm still undecided between plain arch or CachyOS, because that optimisation looks promising and I also game on my laptop.

The fact is that CachyOS seems more "bloated" with some unnecessary packages, so what do you suggest me? A simple arch installation, arch using the cachy-linux kernel and its optimisations or a debloated CachyOS install? Thank you all in advance.
