Main Drive Doesn't Seem Right

[Fabby]

@GwynSunlight324

I noticed this in the BIOS.

Please contact your hardware manufacturer on how to reset the UEFI firmware (you don’t have a BIOS, you have UEFI firmware).

@GwynSunlight324

under “Devices” in my file manager, it no longer shows my main drive that I have the OS installed onto.

That’s normal: “Devices” shows the non-root devices but you have none any more: everything is allocated to Manjaro’s root FS right now.

I downloaded the .run file

Please read this:

[HowTo] become a Manjaro power user when you're a wizard at Windows but a N00b at Manjaro / Linux

Difficulty: ☆☆☆☆☆ Remember when you installed your very first Windows, added bells and whistles and then couldn’t see the wood for the trees any more and had to re-install? Well, you’re in the same situation now: You’re a N00b again! Embrace it! I know right now you’re thinking:

Why is this so much more difficult than Windows?

Whereas in 6 months time, you’ll be like:

Why can't I make Windows jump through fiery hoops like I do with Linux???

Especially the section “How to install software”…

@GwynSunlight324

Is it worth a reset?

No one can answer that question, except you. However, if you do decide to reset the UEFI firmware according to your manufacturer’s instructions, you’re in for a reinstall anyway and I’d take:

• 1G for EFI,
• 64G for /,
• RAM+SQRT(RAM) for swap
• 800G for /home and leave the rest unallocated.
