Next Linux question:
My new laptop has a 2TB drive. Once I obliterate the windows install (I mostly will update the firmware for everything first, save the windows key, and then nuke the drive), how would you partition it so that I can install 2-3 Linux flavors? Or would you not bother and just use VMs to play with other distros?
In any case, I want to save my data on a separate partition that would be visible to all OSs installed. I also want to be able to roll back dumb changes I make so it seems I'll want to use btrfs?
I will not bother installing windows onto this laptop, at all, so that's not a concern.
I would use Linux live USBs for playing with different distros. VMs feel janky.

Is that so?
Live USB Linux thing feels like bare metal install since everything is loaded into memory. Disadvantage is that usually all the changes you do will not get saved for the next session. Depending on your goal, maybe VM is better for your use.
