    Here are the steps I used to install Omarchy in dual boot with Windows (inspired by https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jTk3K3ExaI):

    1. Use iwctl to connect to wifi
    2. `fsdisk /dev/nvme0n1` -> make 1 EFI partition (nvme0n1p4 - 1G), 1 Linux partition (nvme0n1p5 - remaining space)
    2. `sfdisk /dev/nvme0n1` -> make 1 EFI partition (nvme0n1p4 - 1G), 1 Linux partition (nvme0n1p5 - remaining space)
    3. Format
    ```
    mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/nvme0n1p4

    mkfs.btrfs /dev/nvme0n1p5
    ```
    4. Create subvolumes (not sure if optional or mandatory). Do NOT create a subvolume for snapshots, it will raise errors during archinstall.
    ```
    mount /dev/nvme0n1p5 /mnt
    btrfs su cr /mnt/@
    btrfs su cr /mnt/@home
    btrfs su cr /mnt/@pkg
    btrfs su cr /mnt/@log
    umount /mnt
    mkdir /mnt/archinstall
    mount -o noatime,compress=zstd,discard=async,space_cache=v2,subvol=@ /dev/nvme0n1p5 /mnt/archinstall
    mkdir -p /mnt/archinstall/home
    mkdir -p /mnt/archinstall/var/cache/pacman/pkg
    mkdir -p /mnt/archinstall/var/log
    mount -o noatime,compress=zstd,discard=async,space_cache=v2,subvol=@home /dev/nvme0n1p5/mnt/archinstall/home
    mount -o noatime,compress=zstd,discard=async,space_cache=v2,subvol=@pkg /dev/nvme0n1p5/mnt/archinstall/var/cache/pacman/pkg
    mount -o noatime,compress=zstd,discard=async,space_cache=v2,subvol=@log /dev/nvme0n1p5/mnt/archinstall/var/log
    mkdir -p /mnt/archinstall/boot
    mount /dev/nvme0n1p4 /mnt/archinstall/boot
    ```
    5. Run archinstall following https://learn.omacom.io/2/the-omarchy-manual/96/manual-installation, except;
    ```
    Disk configuration -> Pre-Mounted configuration -> /mnt/archinstall
    Disk > Disk encryption > Disabled (I disabled it out of fear it could break something, but maybe it's possible to enable encryption)
    ```
    6. Chroot into the newly created installation
    7. Copy the Windows EFI to the new EFI
    ```
    mkdir /mnt/win
    mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt/win
    cp -r /mnt/win/EFI/Microsoft /boot/EFI
    ```
    Add to /boot/limine.conf
    ```
