The only other thing I'd add - if you're planning to dual boot a machine -
allow both operating systems enough space. The machine on which I'm typing
this has a 256G disk. It came to me with Windows 10 and I retained a
Windows partition to do manufacturer's updates and so on. I gave the
Windows partition 30G and thought that would be fine. Not so: I had to
resize the partition after the fact and 40G has proved fine. Fortunately, I
had no data to save but it's worth thinking about.
