I would just wait until the beta release occurs which should be soon. I see
only one potential problem though. If Im not mistaken you can have a
maximum of 5 primary partitions which you appear to just about have.
Arklinux will require to contigious partitions. One for swap space another
for the root drive. These are automatically created and could cause a
problem with your current partition structure. However my recommendation
would be to wait until beta.
