Gold Ayan's Tinker Garage

I bought a second hand laptop, which has AMD PRO A4-4350B processor with 4gb ram, i have upgraded the 500GB HDD to 256 GB SSD and tried Lubuntu 26.04 happy with performance and installed it.

I used manual partition

EFI partition

  • Size: 512MB
  • Type: Fat32
  • MountPoint: /boot/efi
  • Flag: boot (not boot-grub)

Swap

  • Size: 4196MB
  • Type: Linux swap
  • Flag: swap

Root

  • Size: Rest of the space
  • Type: Ext
  • MountPoint: /

Above partition structure is what i used and it installed successfully for me. This laptop basically planned to use for light browsing, movies, music, Libre calc and others.

Sometimes i create parition for /home and allocate some space to it for 256GB i thought i don't want to do it so i plan put everything in the root partition itself.

Just want to note down my steps i have used and share it with others so it will help me and others in future.
