This is a quick video about what I prefer to use during the installation of Linux CLI versions like Gentoo and Arch Linux. I have noticed that many install guides recommend fdisk, but over the years, I have found cfdisk to be much more intuitive and easier to use for people who don’t want to overthink partitioning. cfdisk is a TUI that you can navigate with arrow keys, while fdisk is command line only and requires more understanding to make simple partitions. In fact, I think cfdisk can even be easier to use than GParted.
