Omarchy dual boot using limine #

Omarchy is very opinionated.

It is designed to consume the entire drive that install it upon and as such, I purchased a new drive and used it for this, however I have a secondary NVMe drive in the machine and I wanted to dual boot back to the Mint / Windows setup, at least for the period of the transition to Omarchy. I have had a lot of experience with boot loaders and I thought that this was going to be rough, but I found that Omarchy is using limine (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Limine) for boot loading and that it is suprisingly easy to use the autodetector to setup the configuration.

The setup that I started following was from the Omarchy discussion board: https://github.com/basecamp/omarchy/discussions/1604 but found a link to using limine-entry-tool --scan which sets it up like butter. YMMV.
