[arch-general] fdisk vs. gdisk for GPT partitioning

[Sebastiaan Lokhorst]

Hello everyone,

Since more than a year now, fdisk (provided by util-linux) has had GPT
support. This theoretically makes gdisk a duplicate of fdisk, and we could
replace gdisk with fdisk.

Now, I'm not asking to drop gdisk or anything like that, but in an effort
to clean up the Beginners' guide of the Arch Wiki, we want to use a single
partitioning tool for both MBR and GPT partitioning instructions.[1]
util-linux fdisk is able to provide this functionality, but we are not
completely sure if it is stable by now (it should be, I think).

So, now my question: is there anyone who has had bad experiences with fdisk
and GPT partitions, where gdisk was superior? Or any other objections why
we should keep gdisk instructions in the Beginners' guide?

Thanks!
Sebastiaan
