Hello JayZero, your idea is interesting but needs some adjustments. With only 30GB of internal storage, dedicating 28GB to the root partition and 15GB to the home partition leaves just 7GB for the swap and micro-SD card. That’s quite limited for a stable system. Consider reducing the root partition size or using the micro-SD card for temporary files instead. Also, putting partitions on the micro-SD would not be practical due to its small capacity. It might work if you keep everything in one drive, but storage efficiency is key. Let me know if you want further advice!

Yes, it should function, though it likely relies on the 28 GB configuration since Linux typically requires less storage and most distributions install under 5 GB.
