when setting up my new laptop i am intending to break /home and /nix into their own partitions. The NVME is 512GB so i am thinking

/ = 20GB

/nix = 50GB

swap = 16GB (2x RAM)

/home = all remaining

Thoughts?

I use ZFS on top of LUKS with the same three-way root/nix/home breakout and a separate SWAP partition.

Works pretty well and sidesteps the partition-sizing issue entirely, since the pools don’t have to be a fixed size.
