Initial setup

[Andy2051]

Coming here from the LM forum as a long time poster there. Timeshift is installed by default in mint and its use encouraged. BUT we get far too many posts from newbies who are using timeshift with the defaults (save snapshots in /timeshift) with a root partition that is too small. Result, timeshift fills up the root partition = no boot = irate/upset user and we pick up the pieces.

Just one example (of far too many):

Could you please, on first run, check the size of the / partition and if less than, say, 50GB, suggest to the user that they select another supported linux filesystem. Or strongly suggest that the user selects a partition other than / as the destination.

Timeshift is a great utility (it's saved me more than once), but the default snapshot location is not doing its reputation any favours.
