## Process
Following a [tutorial][youtube tutorial] to brush up on how to install Arch I:
- Using [fdisk][fdisk] I made a new [GPT](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table) partition table and made:
1. The [EFI](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EFI_system_partition) partition for the bootloader
2. The root ( / ) partition for my linux install
3. The home partition ( /home ) for the install
4. An empty [Fat32](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Allocation_Table) partition for my Windows install I planned to do later
5. Made the "Universal" Partition to use as storage.
