 ---
 
 So, if you are planning on custom partitioning, you probably know what you're doing, so I'll make this pretty short.
+There are several tools you can use to manually partition your disks, depending on your preference:
+- cfdisk - a simple, menu-driven tool that’s easy to navigate.
+- fdisk - more barebones and command-driven, but widely available.
+- parted - supports both MBR and GPT partition tables and can handle larger disks.
+- gparted (GUI) - if you prefer a graphical interface, this one makes it very visual.
+
+For example, with `cfdisk`, you can start it by running:
+`sudo cfdisk <your disk, e.g. /dev/sda or /dev/nvme0n1>`
+
+If you don't know your disk name, you can check with `lsblk`.

+### Swap
+Optionally you can have a [swap partition](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Swap).
+>For systems without hibernation and RAM under 2GB, use 2-3 times your RAM; for 2GB to 8GB of RAM, use RAM size; and for more than 8GB RAM, a swap size of 8GB or less, or even half RAM, is often sufficient, though memory-intensive tasks might require more.
+
+In simple words if you have lets say 8GB of RAM installed on your machine then your swap partition size should be 8 x 1/2 which is half of 8
+
+If you have 16 GB of RAM on your machine then your swap partition size would be 16 x 1/2 which is 8GB
+Here's an example of a minimal disk setup with swap partition for 16 GB of RAM:
+| Mountpoint|Min Size|      FS       |
+|-----------|--------|---------------|
+| /boot/efi | 250 MB |    FAT32 (or VFAT)      |
+|           | 8 GB   | Linux Swap |
+| /         |  10 GB | Linux native (ext4 or btrfs are recommended)  |
+
+> Always remember that you should **not** mount the swap partition anywhere on the device just leave the mountpoint empty
+
+Taking the Windows dual boot example from below with swap your partition table should look like this if you have 8GB of RAM
+| Mountpoint         |  Size  |    FS     |
+|--------------------|--------|-----------|
+| Windows EFI        | 100 MB | Fat32     |
+| Microsoft reserved | 250 MB | NTFS      |
+| Basic data part.   | 250 GB | NTFS      |
+| Windows Recovery   | 800 MB | NTFS      |
+| /boot/efi          | 250 MB | FAT32     |
+|                    | 4 GB   | Linux Swap |
+| /                  | 240 GB | EXT4      |
