  • Today I tried this. The original EFI partition is 1.4 GiB, which should be big enough; I tried nonetheless. The installer has a partioning helper (available through the tree dots menu), though that didn’t show any disks. I had to use gparted to create the partitions. The mentioned error didn’t appear again after I used this partioning:

    The boot and esp flags where necessary for the installer to accept the EFI partition.

    Though I got another error later in the process:

    NoneType object has not attribute path

    The new EFI partition was completely empty afterwards (checked through my Ubuntu). No grub boot menu entry either.


  • Yes. First I tried having 2 partitions (/boot and /) then I tried to build an additional EFI partition (/boot, /boot/efi and /). Though I could not create the partitions in the installer, since the storage helper (which is reachable through the tree dots menu) didn’t show any storage devices (though gparted and lsblk had no problems seeing them). I then created the partitions using gparted

    In fact then the mentioned error didn’t appear. Instead I got a different error at a later stage:

    NoneType object has not attribute path

    The newly created EFI partition stays empty (I checked by mounting it with my working Ubuntu). And there is no entry in the grub2 boot menu for Bazzite











  • Yeah, I had thought about this. I already did a floor plan with Sweet Home 3D some years ago, though it didn’t seem fit to also handle the detail work like water and electricity lines. Or at least I have not seen functions for that. I will try it with FreeCAD and then see, how it goes

    On big flash memory you typically have more memory on the chips, than ia presented to the OS. Flash has significantly less write cycles, before the block breaks, so the controller monitors the health and won’t use it anymore when it will soon fail. Instead it uses a block from its unused extra space. (Details might be different, I’m not sure about that). This way the lifetime of the SSD is significantly improved. SD cards do the same, I think.

    So the data in the retired blocks will remain and cannot be overwritten by the OS. If they are encrypted and the keys deleted, that won’t matter
