  • My recommendation would be to have Linux on the 500gb drive and then install windows directly on the other drive without partitioning. I wouldn’t install Linux on a partition as Windows likes to mess with the bootloader but if Linux is on it’s own drive you can always boot it from EFI without issues.



  • Easy actually. I’m on arch (Hyprland) right now, so no longer EOS but it’s been refreshing. I’d recommend EOS as a base for any arch install, better than “arch installer” by a long shot. If you have dedicated storage I’d recommend using it and booting to the respective system through EFI rather than relying on software bootloader (windows likes to break it). I am running arch on a dedicated SSD and it’s been smooth so far.

    I’ve tried pretty much all the FOSS Lemmy apps I could get my hands on but the experience Sync provides is far superior. I’m an ex Boost user and since I couldn’t find Boost for Lemmy I naturally gravitated towards Sync and I’m not looking back.

    Want your brains blown? Check out ArchCraft. Yes it’s a pay to download thing but they cover everything, i3, Sway, Hyprland, QTile. You name it, they have it (as long as it’s WM). For people like me who don’t have time (nor skill, I’m humble enough to admit it) this is gold. And you can change themes as you like as long as you have basic intermediate skills. As long as you can use a text editor and have some basic arch skills you can customize upon it.

    With that being said, I don’t like pay to download content, reason why I’m on Linux first and foremost. But I gotta give credit where credit is due. ArchCraft is blowing away everything else when it come to pre customized WM experiences. Such an eye candy omg.

    What Arch based distoe were you on? I would love to spend some time on Debian and OpenSUSE eventually. Also Fedora is intriguing, I wished I tried it already.

    I’ve had experience with Debian based and Arch based distros only. I was on Majaro for months before I had to switch back to windows and leave Linux behind for awhile
