I'm about to buy a new laptop that comes with a hybrid HD with a 8GB SSD.
I'm going to install Linux on Lenovo B5400, which contains:   500GB Hybrid SSHD with a 8 GB SSD and 500 GB HDD   Designing partitions for my 2 Linux distros was quite easy before, when I had only HDD. I always had:   10GB for Linux distro (mounted as "/") 10GB for another distro (again "/"; for another distro; for testing purposes or to assure continuity when switching distros) 2GB for swap (used for both distros; no need to separate) 300GB+ for "/home" (used for both distros; different usernames eliminates possible conflicts)   It's simple, isn't it? I would like to keep this approach, but I know that SSD has its own specificity - it prefers to be read, continuous writing may affect its life span. I don't want to kill SSD in a year, so I would like to move some system partitions to HDD in order to protect SSD. As far as I know /tmp is one of often read&amp;written locations. How much space it needs? What else should be placed on HDD?  Or: how to design partitions to achieve exactly the same effect and to keep SSD as safe as possible?  I'd be grateful for your help.

This would allow us to be able to follow the questions and answers that are posted by users that we want to watch/monitor.  I suggest it be implemented in the same fashion as DotNetKicks.com; where you can add someone to your "friends list" without them needing to approve you the way that other social networks do it. It should be completely open for us to add anyone to our "friends list" that we like. Settings disappeared in Ubuntu 19.10 I usually go to the right top corner and at the drop down menu I select the tool icon to go to the settings.  However, 19.10 does not have a tool icon.  How can I go to settings now? What is the simplest SQL Query to find the second largest value? Limit involving the exponential of an expression plus a small-o I'm trying to formalize the following limit:  $$\lim_{x \to \infty} \left[1+\frac{a}{x}+o\left(\frac{1}{x}\right) \right]^x= e^a$$ however I can't see how to rigorously show this identity.  Any suggestions? I asked a question  but, rather stupidly, added extra information after it had been answered.  My additional question is this: I have a table with varying lengths of words. I want to encircle different groups of cells, including diagonals. If possible, it would be great if the rectangles don't overlap each other where possible.  I looked at the answer , which, whilst tedious, worked except for the overlap.

I bought a laptop recently. While Windows 7 was installing, the battery died. So I plugged in the charger and re-installed Windows 7 Home Basic from the start. After completion of the procedure I now have 2 Windows folders in my C:\ drive, so I deleted the old Windows folder.  The problem is, while booting time it shows two Windows 7 options, although I already deleted the old Windows folder.  How can I remove old Windows 7 option from my boot?

The below is what I saw.  You see a top you want to buy for $\$97$, but you don't have any money so you borrow $\$50$ from your mom and $\$50$ from your dad.  You buy the top and have $\$3$ change, you give your mom $\$1$,your dad $\$1$, and keep $\$1$ for yourself.  You now owe your mom $\$49$ and your dad $\$49$.  $\$49 + \$49 = \$98$ and you kept $\$1$.   Where is the missing $\$1$?

When I got back on my egg was gone. Is there anything I can do to retrieve my incubated but not hatched egg? I have come across both the phrases - 'on the internet' and 'over the internet.'   I'm pretty sure that both are correct but then which to use when?  Please note, I'm well aware of all over the Internet which I'm not concerned about.
