Some Linux distros really suck at dealing with multiple hard drives. Too many “maintainers” only have a laptop. Background You need a wee bit of background before we jump in. Hopefully you can see the featured image. Recently picked up this Lenovo M93p ThinkCentre from eBay. I specifically bought an M93p instead of M83 because I wanted two hard drives.

Despite what people may tell you Apple is not a technology company, it’s a cult. That’s how you get idiots to spend over $1000 on an iDiot Phone and a ludicrous $53K for a desktop computer.
