From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Seriously you guys. I love tinkering. I never give up. I feel like I've failed here, having used about 4 promising tutorials found online. Just can't make it all play right.

So here's my end goal: RAID __ (mobo has x3 M.2 slots) across x3 one TB nvme drives (I have 1 nvme drive right now, but this is good to plan for NOW)

1TB nvme drive with 3 Linux OSes:

120GB to Ubuntu Studio 22.04 Jammy LTS

120GB to Debian 12 LTS "Bookworm"

120GB to Qubes-OS

That's 360GB/1TB so far.

512GB shared btrfs encrypted Home partiton for all the OSes to use.

872GB/1TB on the nvme M.2 drive.

Finally... 128GB encrypted space for... stuff.

1TB/1TB usage on nvme M.2 drive

Hotay.

So what I run into, is a fight between Ubuntu Studio (Debian-based) and my GNU/Linux Debian OSes.

Ubuntu Studio offers to encrypt the /boot partiton in the LVM.

Debian12 shrieks this isn't possible (encrypting the /boot partiton in the LVM).

But they're both Debian-based. So there has to be common ground here.

I haven't even wrestled with Qubes-OS installation (OS #3) at this point (have used it in the past, it's delightful).

So. I'm going to wipe it all again for the umpteenth time, and I await your suggestions, pearls of wisdom, and potential "pitfalls/gotcha's" regarding my vision.

Thank you in advance, you're wonderful!

Not all heroes wear capes. But you, doubtlessly, do. Thank you. Thank you so much. This is why I went full penguin.

I WILL give Gentoo another try. She calls me. I just need to understand flags a bit more...

P.S. there was also a bloodbath regarding Grub. Neither of the two OS'es did the os-probesuccessfully, so I botched something up, there, too.
