It correctly sets aside 4 TiB (sorry, it was 4TiB, not 2TiB as mentioned earlier) for /home, and then 1 GiB for /boot, 600 MiB for /boot/efi, 70 GiB for / and leaves aside the rest (as free space). I can adjust the 70 GiB, but do I need to keep aside space for the zram? I am unsure about what to do with so much free space?
