Install Linux mint on formerly RST raid 0 drive (lemmy.world)

Hi! I previously had windows installed on an intel RST raid 0 disk and I'd like to switch it to Linux mint instead. However, from what I've found, rst isnt compatible with Linux mint as it's specifically a windows thing.

I'd like to install Linux mint directly onto the raid array and I don't mind erasing windows and starting from scratch, but I can't seem to find a comprehensive or comprehensible guide on how to do that.

Any help on where to start would be very much appreciated!

Cheers!

Wishing you luck. Dell was little help, saying it was hardware, but i seem to recall, a few years ago someone had figured out a way to do it. Maybe you could find it still on Dell forums: https://www.dell.com/community/en/conversations/search?q=rst

Really put me, and a lot of others off Dell.
