# Fedora ~VM~ WSL2

Need to install this, so i can transfer my folders over
>Then, delete Ubuntu

# NixOS or ArchLinux ?

NixOS :: is great to learn the kernel parts

ArchLinux install will make it easier to work with containerization

*I clearly want both*

Where do i install the image ArchLinux?

    1- SSD Lexar 1T : On external Lexar SSD 
    2- GATE laptop driver ? -> Meaning dual boot with Windows 11
    
<Best options>
GATE laptop with Win11 & NixOS & Ubuntu && Fedora workspaces +
SSD portable ArchLinux image
</Best>

# TODO : 
Install ArchLinux on SSD Lexar. 
>Can a SSD do the archlinux.iso install without wiping the content put inside the DataShield ?

>Can the SSD do the iso install without wiping the 2 others hard drive inside the laptop?

>I think it won't affect the 2 other drives but could delete everything on the current SDD but not the ones, inside the DataShield. As you need a permission to access it, supposedly to prevent deletion or access without a key.
But it may be using tech that i don't know the events of 

I need to check Lexar API for Data Shield, (it's probably not Public so..)

#### Backed up laptop Drives on USB & some on SSD anyhow, so can proceed with the SSD ArchLinux install steps
