[Testing Needed] Dual Boot macOS 13.7 and Linux Mint 22.1 Installation Guide

Hello, I have successfully installed Linux Mint 22.1 alongside macOS Ventura 13.7.6 on a MacBookPro14,1 (2017 MacBook Pro):

mint-fastfetch

I would like to write an installation guide and add it to https://linuxmint-installation-guide.readthedocs.io by PR'ing it to https://github.com/linuxmint/doc-installation-guide.

If you have an Intel-based MacBook or Mac, I would like to request your help editing or testing the installation guide. It roughly goes as follows:

  1. Following https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_dualboot_with_macOS, use Disk Utility on macOS to add a partition to install Linux Mint in.

Experimenting with `fio` - Flexible I/O tester on NFS vs fsdax

See https://github.com/osalbahr/pmem-redirection

I experimented with fio, a well-known tool for I/O benchmarking. Here are some simple benchmarks with the following target files:

  1. $HOME/fio.txt - Network Filesystem (NFS)
  2. /mnt/fsdax/$USER/fio.txt - Persistent Memory (PMEM)
  3. /tmp/$USER/fio.txt - SSD (note: I called the job in the jobfile "ram-tmp" incorrectly, it should be "ssd-tmp")
