I disabled SELinux. It gets on my nerves.
I've a dual boot in my laptop, but it's just for a warranty thing.
It's squeezed in a 30GB partition. And for the next Fedora release it
will be wiped.
Glad you find a solution that suits you.

Yes, it's how I've got my desktop set up, previously my laptop didn't
have enough space to make that practical. Though

First, I strongly recommend to put /home in a separated partition. It
will save you time any time you make a fresh install.
Second, may I ask what use you give to your Windows? I mean, why you
keep a dual boot?

You can shrink ext4 filesystem using resize2fs (assuming it has enough

if I kill the remaining processes of the user which was logged in (systemd
