I want to dual boot W11 with Arch on my Raid 0 setup - eviltoast

Hello, I have recently built an AM5 pc and loaded Windows 11 onto it. I have two M.2 SSDs setup with RAID 0, through the UEFI.

I want to install dual boot a Linux distro to try and play games on it, because I prefer Linux to Windows.

From where I am with W11 and RAID 0 setup, how can I dual boot Arch, for example?

Should I (can I) partition my RAID0 drive?

    The general steps to do this are:

    1. shrink your W11 partition and leave enough room for a Linux install plus games
    2. Boot a LiveCD to check if everything works and you can view your Raid Array
    3. Install Linux distro in new free space
