Disk management in Linux for newbies
Hi guys, wanted to know what the best way a newbie like me learn to do disk management stuff (like adding devices, managing formats and partitions and so on) in Linux mint. gui is prefered but I'm willing to learn the terminal way too if it has benefits and more control. Thank you for your time
You're viewing a single thread.
The Arch Wiki article for Partitioning is a good starting point.
Additionally, you can run
man [command name]
to find the manual for each command that you're trying to use.5 0 ReplyMan pages are a headache for me a lot of the time. Even with using / to search through it.
Alternatively install the tldr client and just run
tldr command
Or another method
curl cheat.sh/topic
There's also a client for it as well2 0 ReplyThat's fair. I have 14 years of experience reading man pages, thanks for sharing the tools!

GParted is a good graphical option that helps you finalize what's going on, as well.
6 0 ReplyIs gparted installed on mint by default? If not can I install it with a simple "apt install gparted" or it has a custom repo?
2 0 ReplyIt is, but it's usually only available on the live version running off a USB to make it easier to modify the drives.

Then Arch wiki it is. Although I hope it's not too technical
