Hello, I am a Windows 11 user. Does anyone have a good guide on Dual Booting Artix Linux or any instructions ?

artix is Arch-based.  Do a search on

And voila!

I have 2 TB HDD that's all so yeah I need to partition and dual boot. Don't have secondary drive.

-- in the order given.

 

If two hdd or ssd, the one with windows is primary, the other is secondary (and should contain not any windows files nor the ntfs file system.  If windows divided between the two, use it to transfer all windows files to the primary drive and wipe the secondary before partitioning and installing antX

 

EXAMPLE FOR SECONDARY PARTITIONS

50gb root partition with boot flag set, ext4 filesystem

1GB swap partiton, swap filesystem

some or all of the remainder -- /home parition, ext4

 

use gparted or the command 

cfdisk /dev/sdX 

to partiton the drive, where X is how the drive is recognized.  to find out how recognized --

lsblk

I like to use SystemRescue (which contains gprted and more) to prepare dirves, but it can be done by hand using the CLI, too.
