1. Follow the site-wide rules
- Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
- Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html
2. Be civil
- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
- These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudo
in Windows.
- No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

When I built my PC the "meta" (lol) was to have an SSD for the OS and a separate HDD for games. With NVME drives it seems easy to get massive and fast drives for cheap. So yeah, I think two should be easy.
It's a lot easier because you don't have to play around with EFI stuff at all. Windows gets its drive and it's EFI partition, Linux gets its own pair. Et voila, much less crossover and issues.
Is the way it boots into grub and you can select Linux or Windows the same?
I haven't personally done it, but I believe so based on my friend's experience. I'd read the arch wiki, they surely have a guide on it for EFI.
