I have always used a single partition for all of my personal machines, and it’s always been a simple process. grub-install --recheck /dev/sda grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg I know that for servers it’s common to have a bunch of partitions to prevent a rogue process from filling up the entire disk and tanking the entire system, but I can’t imagine it’s that much more complex.
