Your motherboard supports a specific form of software raid that it expects windows to respect (with a driver iirc).
Basically that bios setting will enable it to “boot from the software raid”, then once you get to the operating system it needs to understand how to handle the software raid and make it a proper volume.
This made sense in the before-times with windows and booting from spinning disks (well, not really but still), but now you’re better off making a proper software raid yourself.
Your chipset doesn’t have a proper hardware raid controller (actually it probably has most of one by now, just not the iop itself, basically like a small cpu core that figures out what to do next), so it’s not proper hardware raid, just software games to let your cpu do software raid.
If you’re running Linux just use lvm, it’s fast and you’ll be pretty happy with the results.
Congrats? But that doesn’t change the fact it’s shit.
Manjaro is without a doubt the worst arch derivative by far. Their whole marketing pitch is: “You heard that the arch repo has the most packages, and that they’re all fresh from the pipeline? Use manjaro, and replace it with a smaller one that delays updates by two weeks for absolutely no reason! You want to use arch because of AUR? Oh, the package failed to install because your system is weeks out of date? Tough shit, we’re not supporting AUR…”
It had a value in the time before archinstall, Endeavour, Arco, and Garuda. Each of them either only install arch with sane defaults, or provide some other benefits. Manjaro does neither, unless you count delaying security patches a benefit.
You can the same way you can technically run MS Office on Linux. You can manage to get it to start and run but using it for any form of productive use is probably gonna be rough.
Zorin is designed to be a Windows replacement, but my personal recommendation is LinuxMint. Sure it’s not trying to be a carbon copy of Windows, but it’s designed to be easy to learn, stable, functional, and support pretty much everything from the get go (just not bleeding edge), with a readily available store that lets you download everything you need (that isn’t already included in the install).
It works fairly well. A “daily driver” if you don’t mind tinkering. Installed some basic dev tools, runtimes, and container workloads. You’ll miss some QOL and efficiencies compared to macOS, and I couldn’t quite get the trackpad to feel as good, but that’s pretty par-for-the-course when it comes to running a non-macOS OS on a MacBook.
Since dual-boot is the default install option, doesn’t hurt to carve other some space for Asahi and give it a whirl. You’re intended to be able to use both on the same system as needed.
