Introduction

Quick overview of sources and things to remind me of things to install

Dual Boot Partitions

Separate partitions for OS and data so I can reimage without losing data. Well that was the plan until I made them too small to update so I had to reimage anyways.

Boot into Live USB with Linux. Install and create partitions using the tool.

Create GPT Drive.

1. EFI Boot partition; 512 MB; EFI
2. Linux Boot; ~40 GB; EXT4 (I had it at like 15 for Mint 21 and didn't have enough space to update to 22)
3. Linux Home; 35 GB; EXT4
4. Windows Boot; 75 GB; NTFS (Requires 64 GB)
5. Shared Data; ---; FAT NTFS (Many games and Proton will not launch when installed to a FAT partition. Mounting it with the method below still lets you read/write on Linux.)

Boot into USB and install Windows with a custom install. Use autoattend file if applicable. With GPT drive, make sure you boot with UEFI. With Ventoy, this is a separate option in the boot options (UEFI: Generic instead of Generic since it's a flash drive).

Setup Scripts

Create Scripts folder in home directory (~/Scripts)

Mount Steam Library

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/wiki/Using-a-NTFS-disk-with-Linux-and-Windows

Find partition name using sudo fdisk -l then sudo blkid for the UUID

Add to /etc/fstab/: /dev/nvme0n1p5 /mnt/data ntfs uid=1000,gid=1000,rw,user,exec,umask=000 0 0. First entry is the name or UUID. vfat is needed to be specified for FAT32 Don't use FAT
