Are you just setting up Arch? Probably around 500MB of EFI, 1GB on the boot partition, and the remaining space for the partition. You can create a separate swap if needed. Choose the filesystem you prefer. LVM works well.

You're starting with Arch Linux and have a 1TB NVMe 4.0 drive. For Arch, you'll typically use `parted` or `gparted` to format the drive. When using fdisk, it will prompt for commands like `/dev/sdXn` (your drive letter). Make sure to back up data before formatting.

LVM can be a solid choice for managing storage, offering flexibility and performance benefits.

Consider trying a different Linux distribution instead of Arch. There are many tutorials available for GParted creating GPT partitions—avoid using fdisk and skip the MBR setup.

It varies based on your needs. It adds more difficulty when configuring.

I'm moving from Manjaro, but all these distros handle it fine. (The Manjaro drive crashed badly, so I'm starting over with Arch)

Have you checked installation manuals for Arch? You might want to change to Arch because you’d like to understand its functionality better and try some setup guides in a virtual environment first.

I'm exploring the arch wiki guide. I'm looking for ways to understand the steps and experiment. Could you find additional helpful resources?

Examine the LVM, the additional file systems, and various components of the Linux storage architecture to understand their functionality. Just need to experiment with them.
