Hi, I’m pretty new to linux but been playing around with it on VM environment (mostly Arch, Debian or Fedora). I wanted to switch to linux since my machine is getting old. I cannot upgrade it in order to meet the hardware requirement for Windows 11 (money problem 
).
Here is my current windows partition setup see image below.
Physical hard drive:
2 pcs. of SSD total capacity 500 GB each
1 pc. of HDD total capacity 1 TB
with 32 GB of RAM
Currently my Disk 0 in the image above is where windows system is located. I can reformat that disk whenever I want without affecting the other disk. Hope I can do the same logic / idea in Linux.
What I wanted or planning to do is to make a system partition entirely separate to my personal files and installed programs. Either logically partition separated or physically separated (system partition I guess this is the root partition and some tmp, var or others I have no idea 
). Also I’m planning to add another physical disk for dual booting for me to gradually transition my self on switching from windows to linux and since am doing software development using Visual Studio I will still need windows platform or probably some games that is hard to run on linux due to some anticheat mechanism.
What I’m thinking is to use LVM, in combination of BtrFS or Ext4, maybe disk encryption for personal files or not with ZRam (I’m not really sure if I should use this but it’s good to know and practice the jizz of it). Any suggestion is very much appreciated
Thank you in advance.
