Is 50 GB enough for Linux Mint?
The 15GB suggested above is well below the recommended absolute bare minimum needed for Linux, which is generally 20GB if you’re pushed for space. Also, you don’t need separate partitions for everything. If you don’t plan on using any of that 50GB for anything else, just let the Mint installer take care of it.
