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.

    Virtual Machine.

    My laptop came with Windows 11, I nuked it and installed Linux before even booting lol.

      Could I preserve the activation key the refurbisher provided doing that (I’m gonna google whether I can anyway)?
