Links to everything that helped me get a smooth install and prepare for the ways Windows 11 likes to destroy your setup
- Useful Github Gist focused specifically on Arch x Win11
- Rob Braxman Tech Tutorial
- One of the most useful videos since he discusses all the ways you can prevent Windows 11 from overriding your boot partition.
NOTE: He dual-boots Ubuntu and mentions to have Linux set the hardware clock to localtime. The Archwiki recommends to make both Windows/Linux set the hardware clock to UTC.
Disk Partitioning Tool
If Windows is not letting you shrink the C: partition even though you removed hibernation, paging, and system restore files, use GParted to shrink it. It's also very convenient to use to create your Linux partitions.
Disk/Partition Cloning & Imaging Tool
Take regular backups of your partitions - especially your boot partition/ESP - since Windows could override this and destroy your setup.
