What is the recommended partition size for installing windows and Ubuntu?
So my advice would be to install windows in a partition of about 80 Gb and Ubuntu in a partition of 40 Gb. Allocate remaining space for data. Distribute it in a few drives and use them to keep things sorted. Don’t fill the OS drives to their capacity. Specially windows drive.
That’s because it makes it so much easier to adjust partition size later, even on live systems and modern file systems. Then I would make root small about 1GB, /usrabout 6GB, /varabout 2GB, /bootabout 512 MB, swap same size as RAM, /var/log, /homeand /srvlarge enough.
