I just got a new laptop and installed Linux on it. I mainly run OpenSUSE.

Getting full encryption on both was a bit of a challenge and I had no idea what I’m doing. Will having the swap partition in the middle break things? Did I really need so many partitions (Mint and OpenSUSE don’t show up in eachother’s boot menu)?

I’m probably not gonna change this layout (because reinstallation seems like a pain) unless the swap partition’s position is a problem. I’m just curious how many mistakes I made.

EDIT: I’m not upgrading my drive capacity. I do not need it.

    Yep, gonna clone and delete Windows 11.

    Why would you clone it first? Just nuke it if you don’t plan on using it. It has no value. You can always install it from scratch.

      Doesn’t matter anyway. It wouldn’t fit on my USB so I shrunk the partition and now my copy of Windows 11 is bricked.
