Hi Guys,
I have to setup a new computer for my brother, the other times I always created separated partitions but recently I am not using it anymore. Personally I am using BTRFS and subvolumes but in case of my brother, since I verified that even him is unable to break Debian -- he did just once because the root partition was filled by old deb archive in /var but "apt clean" fixed the issue", my idea is to install everything in one EXT4 partition (Windows style), use a swap file, but limiting the amount of quota for its user in order to have enough space for the system. It is not like a partition but with this method I should avoid to have issues with the regular tasks of the system.
In that regard I found this tutorial on Digital Ocean and I would like to know you opinions over it and if you want also in my main general idea:

Thanks in advance,
