With assistance of @wizardfromoz I now am able to dual boot Manjaro 17.1.2 GNOME on my SSD and LM19 Cinnamon on the HDD! I would now like to install a few more distros on my. I'd like to have Manjaro or LM19 xcfe, a solid distro w/ KDE (preferably Manjaro or Antergos or possibly KsOS) and possibly one more distro on my SSD. Here is my current partition scheme:
and here is my system information
I am looking for suggestions and guidance on how to properly partition the SSD as well as suggestions on what distros to multiboot with. I am not married to any of the suggestions I gave earlier in the post.
