Hey folks,
I'm here to seek some assistance and advice from the awesome Arch Linux community. I've managed to pull off a dual boot setup before, running Windows and Arch Linux with a Btrfs file system. It worked out pretty well, thanks to guides like this YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xynotc9BKe8.
Now, I want to achieve something similar on another system, encrypting the Arch Linux installation using LUKS2. Encryption has me feeling a bit uncertain because it seems a tad complicated for my current skill level. So, I plan on following the installation guide on the Arch Wiki, but I have a feeling I might need some extra help along the way to tackle the encryption part.
I found a potentially relevant guide on the Arch Wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/User:Z … ecure_Boot. However, there's a little disclaimer in that guide stating "Dual-booting or multiple OS on a single drive is out of scope of this guide. "
So, my question to you knowledgeable folks is: What additional steps should I take if I decide to follow that guide? Should I securely erase the disk first, install Windows, and then proceed with installing Arch Linux? Or are there other factors I need to consider?
Thanks a ton in advance!
