Yes, but only if you have separate partitions for root, home, boot and swap. Otherwise, it is going to be painful.

Why boot and swap? Even /root is probably unnecessary.

Yeah I don’t as in the bazzite installer it’s a real pain to set it up manually (also not allowing you to spread the partitions over multiple drives during the initial setup)

Is there a guide or any educational material on this? I’m about to swap to Linux (some fedora distro focused on gaming) and I’m interested in potentially one day swapping to arch after I’ve gotten my toes wet. Doing a bit of extra work and planning ahead to make that easier sounds nice.

There’s probably some generic tutorial out there, but since I’ve started to separate partitions after moving to NixOS and Guix, and self-learnt this, I’m not sure what would be a better resource for you.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
