Almost finished setting up my new OS, it's gonna be my main (dual booting with Windows on separate disk). Tokyo Night theme for GTK, xfce terminal, btop and vim. Papirus Dark icons.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This looks beautiful. Been tempted to set up a dual boot myself with Windows 11. How was it to get everything working?
Easy actually. I'm on arch (Hyprland) right now, so no longer EOS but it's been refreshing. I'd recommend EOS as a base for any arch install, better than "arch installer" by a long shot. If you have dedicated storage I'd recommend using it and booting to the respective system through EFI rather than relying on software bootloader (windows likes to break it). I am running arch on a dedicated SSD and it's been smooth so far.
That would be my plan, I have windows on its own 500gb drive and 2 1tb drives for gaming. My plan would be partition on the gaming drives as they just house the game files.
How much would you recommend allocating to EOS? I'm very much green around the ears when it comes to Linux, I've dabbled and have a home server running Manjaro and fumbled my way through that somehow!
If all goes well I'd like to daily drive it and only use Windows for games I can't get running on EOS
