Hey there!
I have run Xubuntu for a while now and so far it works pretty stable and I can solve upcoming problemss. So now I noticed that the learning curve of Arch Linux might be a new challenge, running it under VM for now.
I really like the plain structure of Arch and asked myself wether I can dual run it on one machine, sharing the same /home partition with Xubuntu. Is this possible?
My partition table (lsblk) looks as it follows (maybe someone can explain to me why it chose /dev/sdb instead of /dev/sda. Might be since I installed Arch on the VM).
whereas sdb5 is swap. Is it possible now to decrease /home and put Arch on the new partition, sharing the same home? I don't want to mess up my running system
