Hello, I have recently built an AM5 pc and loaded Windows 11 onto it. I have two M.2 SSDs setup with RAID 0, through the UEFI.

I want to install dual boot a Linux distro to try and play games on it, because I prefer Linux to Windows.

From where I am with W11 and RAID 0 setup, how can I dual boot Arch, for example?

Should I (can I) partition my RAID0 drive?

    I’m not sure if having a raid is related in this situation, but if you have two drives on the machine and one already has windows then all you needed to is boot into a distro live session and install it on the empty drive. That’s all. Also, I wouldn’t start with Arch Linux. Try something more user friendly to install if you’re new to Linux.
