Chezzy That's why I like Fedora. Open source, rock solid, more up to date than Debian but not as bleeding edge as Arch.
I like Fedora, too. Also some of its derivatives, like Ultramarine. The one fault they all have in common, though, is that they're just not Solus.
Chezzy Yes your way will probably work.
My way will definitely work. But so will the default, where you let the installer do it all. Although I don't use that method, I have used it, as have thousands of others. The Solus 4.4 installer creates a 512 MB EFI boot partition, and I don't remember if it creates a swap partition or not.
In any event, I prefer a 1.0 GiB boot partition (safer for dual EFI boot), and I set the swap size depending on the RAM size in the computer. In other words, I have control over the process. And it takes me about a minute with a partition editor to get that. control. And neither GPartEd nor KDE Partitiion Manager requires rocket science to operate it.
You certainly have the skill to prepare the disk. If you don't have the experience yet, there's an easy way to get it.
