Partition Table Linux
Partition Table is very important Linux.
It has a numbering sequence from 1 to 25 to 30 in my case.
Gparted is the utility coming from Debian or Gnome base.
It is a tiny utility but robust in action, unlike magic parted which was FREE then is proprietary now. I do not know who bought it, may be Elementary OS developers. I stand to correction.
When I was installing Linux Mint in my NUC, I found one partition missing.
That was not to my liking.
It was the /var partition of Elive.
This damage was done by Suse and subsequently exacerbated by Fedora Official.
As a testing exercise I installed both of them as prelude to my book "Linux Essentials".
Both of these distribution do not support (corporate mentality) Gparted and have their in house partition tools which are faulty in my estimate. Both of them take over the hard disk just like Endless OS and do not like to cohabit with other Linux distributions which a fundamental violation of Linux FREEDOM philosophy.
This is the very reason I ditched both of them 25 years ago. They have not improved or learned to recognize their own mistakes.
Well I booted Linux Mint and re-calibrated or re-partitioned my 320GB DATA disk and I got back the (my) missing partition.
I am afraid I have to install Elive first and after that Linux mint.
I will report on Linux Mint after the installation.
By the way, Elive is one of those distributions that support Enlightenment desktop and the other is "Bodhi Linux" which names it as Moksha.
