[ale] to lvm or not lvm is my dillema

[Mark Ulmer]

The LVM replies are all great. 


For my desk/laptop, I don’t tinker with the partitions, I just want it stable and simple. I do a single part and format ext4. If I was doing server, or had much bigger 1tb then I might tinker around more. 



Done lvm, yet for some purposes I go simple.

Friends:


I am installing DEBIAN on my ASUS motherboard based desktop.

I am at the stage where it is asking me to partition the disks.


NVMe-1 blank 256GB

NVMe-2 Window 11 exists from broken laptop 256GB



Does it make sense to install LVM ?


What does it get me ?
