mdam doesn’t work on either my Trixie or 26.04 install
What? Do you mean it is incompatible with Mac OS software RAID implementation? This does not mean it doesn’t work. You will also be unable to read your software RAID if you insert disks into hardware RAID device.
LOL, you could hear that about pretty much every release of any software.
Much more common than is should be.
The current stable release is Debian 13. Choosing 12 is nonsense.
If you are choosing between Fedora and Debian, definitely go with Debian. Fedora evolves too rapidly for professional use, and its administration requires excessive effort.
I’m hoping that’s just because I installed them on the same disk though.
No. It does not matter where they are installed.
Usually Grub successfully finds all distros installed. I guess that it fails because of some Atomic distro differences. If you use Grub from Fedora Atomic, it should also find a “normal” distro.
What is it and why should we care?
Absolutely wrong. Only the manual (I mean official documentation, not a “howto” in someone’s blog) can provide you a complete and up-to date information.
It depends on what you mean by “local private network”. Probably, you need samba.
It doesn’t hide what’s under the hood and permits to fix/modify it. Yes, I’m a nerd.
I have no idea. It depends on your locale on mac.
You probably need to pass the iocharset mount option.
It’s because nobody writes “I use Debian BTW”.
