BorgLabs - Kate Draven scripsit:
[...] The remaining space will be used for / and all the software.
sda1 = swap - 32g sda2 = esp - xx size sda3 = / - remaining space
Second question, partition order. Good or are there better arrangements.
I'd put ESP in the first partition, so it's out of the way.
Most guides do seem to recommend putting it first, and given just how horrible and specification-noncompliant EFI firmware often is, there's a nonzero chance that the system will fail to boot or otherwise be confused if you put it elsewhere.

Liddell you can be a poet of understatement at times lol. I will be putting the esp part first.
The test drive booted with no problems using sda1 swap 32g sda2 esp 32MBs sda3 / about 400GBs
Changes sda1 esp 105MBs sda2 swap 32 ZBs (just kidding) sda3 / about 400GBs
