Aand why the hell does it do that? And why the hell count is more than one?
And while we are at it, what is so deadly and frightening with Linux installer creating a partition?
I mean it creates an EFI partition unless you have one, a recovery partition, and a… whatever the fuck an MSR partition is. It stands for Microsoft Reserved I believe, and should be 16 MB nowadays.
And then there’s the one partition that your OS goes on, the C:\ partition.
I mean you still have a separate EFI partition under Linux. Personally I also have a separate /home partition which is heavily recommended in case you nuke your Linux either on purpose or accidentally. You may also want to create other partitions, like swap, though I just have a swapfile.
Is the an installer that only creates only one partition, no EFI system partition?
That you have to manually specify partitions in Windows?
You literally don’t have to create a single one, only point it at empty space or a partition you’re willing to have it delete for space. It handles the rest. Does it matter how many partitions it creates?
Did you install that Ubuntu on a legacy BIOS system or maybe one with an existing EFI partition? Because I can’t see how you could have a modern OS without at least two partitions.

which is so much better and intuitive than Linux installer creating exactly one partition, right?

Yup, last time I installed Ubuntu it was that, one partition. So now, what has @henfredemars got “not right”?

The point was that you have to manually remove them, not create
Or maybe I missed the EFI partition when run gparted after installation, it being much smaller than rest of the drive
