    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)

    Are you using hardware RAID? yeah, that doesn't go too well with Linux... works perfectly in Windows though, cuz their softraid solutions are shit.

    Server-level hardware RAID is fine on Linux. It has to, because manufacturers would cut out a huge chunk of their market if they didn't. Servers are moving away from that, though, and using filesystems with their own software RAID, like zfs.

    Cheapo built-in consumer motherboard RAID doesn't work great on Linux, but it's also hot garbage that's software RAID with worse performance than the OS implementation could give you. I guess if you're dual booting, you'd have to do it that way since I don't think you can share software RAID between Windows and Linux. It's still not great.

    It's called FakeRAID for a reason.
