This is definitely not a Shitpost. Pick a Linux distro and advertise it for me.

(wanted something else than Ubuntu or Mint for my laptop that BinBos destroyed)

    Any suggestions for a first time arch user installing it on a second SSD in my existing system with Windows 10? Do I need a boot efi partition first when setting up partitions? I plan disabling secure boot so I can use reFind for my boot manager

      That was exactly my setup before I erase Windows 10, except that I use GRUB, not reFind. Yes, you will need a EFI partition, normally located in /boot or /boot/EFI. You won’t need to disable secure boot if you use some tool to create your own keys, only in installation secure boot has to be off. For that matter I use sbctl.
