    I am currently dual booting and trying to get feature parity in my Linux install as a reletave newbie.

    So far the largest hurdle I’ve been able to solve was getting my RAID array recognized. That sent me down a rabbit hole.

    To get it working in Linux I needed to:

    • switch from LMDE to Mint proper
    • add a PPA repository
    • install the RAID driver
    • manually edit my grub config file to ignore AHCI
    • run a command to apply the change
    • reboot
    • format the volume

    To get it working in Windows I needed to:

    • format the volume(Windows gave me a popup with a single button to do this on login)

      You’d normally use a software raid implementation these days, and Linux has a number of those. But yeah, dual booting can expose some quirks and filesystems and disk setup in general is one of the most prominent.
