  • I just use /

    I don’t think having a swap partition or file would be all that useful because I have plenty of memory. I’ve never had to reinstall Linux so I’m not sure why I would need a separate home. If I did bork my OS somehow I’m fairly confident I could repair it from a live distro. And even if I did end up having to save my home I could just copy the files I want to another drive if it really came to that.












  • If you’re worried about messing anything up the safest option is to simply format the unused space and set it’s mount point to some directory of your choosing.

    Another option I think would be to clone your boot partition to the beginning of the unallocated space, clone your root partition to the unallocated space after that, delete the old partitions, grow your root partition, and then reinstall and reconfigure your boot loader. All this should be done from a portable Linux install.
