I have a win10 PC with an extra hard drive on which I've installed Arch on. I'm thinking of deleting the Windows partition for extra storage on my Arch side because my CPU doesn't support Win11, apparently. Is there anything I should be careful of before I go forward with my plan other than backing up data and the usual hardware compatibility issues when only using Linux?
Since you are already using arch I guess you kinda know what youre doing so you should be fine.
Haha, damn. Sorry.
I dunno why, but when I decided to try Linux six months ago, I just went with Arch and every other day I regret my choice. I'm too invested now and I do like tinkering.
Damn, that's one hell of a learning curve. I struggled with doing the most basic stuff on Linux Mint. Theres no way I would have been able to handle arch as my first install.
Nothing's blown up on me so far (knock on wood)!
That's the funny thing, it goes quite well for some time and then you accidentally completely brick your system.
All part of the fun I guess, eh? I do have Ubuntu just in case I accidentally make Arch shit its pants.
