I am in the process of preparing a computer for EndeavourOS installation. The system itself will be on an SSD, home will be on an HDD. I found a preinstalled Manjaro, which I had automatically partitioned at the time (years ago). Before the first partition (boot/efi) about 2 MiB of unused space were left, after the last partition also something over 2 MiB, alignment after MiB. I know the sense of this with a classic HDD, but with an SSD it seems rather questionable to me. If I repartition this now, can I not just leave this unoccupied space?
If you are erasing everything anyway, just put a new GPT partition table on it and see what the installer does. It may or may not align the partitions in a similar way.

I had Calamaris do an independent partitioning and it was created again leaving a small unoccupied space before the first and after the last partition. So I think it should be so and find my peace with it
