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.

Hey nostr:nprofile1qyt8wumn8ghj7un9v9k8jtndd3jkkafwv3jhvtcprdmhxue69uhhg6r9vehhyetnwshxummnw3erztnrdakj7qpqq6ya7kz84rfnw6yjmg5kyttuplwpauv43a9ug3cajztx4g0v48eqyz40jh -- check out Ventoy:

It allows you to load and run multiple Linux distros from a single USB drive. Easiest way I've found to not only keep a bunch of different distros handy but also to run any of them at any time (downside of course is you're running them from a USB and not natively, but I routinely run Linux from USBs without any noticeable performance issues).

Give it a try...
