<p>This brief tutorial should be cross-flavor, meaning it should work on Debian-, Fedora-, and Arch-based systems alike. For today&rsquo;s guide we&rsquo;ll be using CachyOS, adjust for your package manager accordingly! :)</p>

<p>Now. In Disks, you&rsquo;ll want to format your disk from the 3-dot menu in the top right.</p>
