Should I just head to using basic plain jane Debian or something?

Every time I try a new distro I end up back on Debian. It just works.

Why are you excited about cosmic? I haven’t kept my ear to the ground, this is the first I’m hearing about it.

I get that maybe it’s preconfigured which might make sense on dell pc’s that’d fit a few drives in empty sata slots, but it took me nearly two days to think of that solution.

I figured throw it out there in case someone else has issues with an install locating the main drive on a Dell.

Just flat out getting Debian to install. This was my first OS swap on a Dell Latitude. Holy whirlwind that bios is locked down with half a dozen secure boot “features”.

My problem ended up being in storage configuration. After I set it from raid to achi Debian install was able to detect the drive. Why my laptop with a single m.2 slot was configured for raid, I’ll never know.
