What you're trying to use is "hardware" RAID. Using hardware RAID is generally a bad idea. If you're using Linux, use software RAID instead.
Also consider using Btrfs, it will make having a RAID setup even easier.
They should have given you the actual data, not the permalinks to the data. If you're in a jurisdiction that requires by law that they need to make your data available, then they're in violation of that. Consider taking legal action.
As for saving the data, that's mostly trivial for anyone who knows how to write simple scrapping code. But again, this shouldn't be needed, as the data itself should have been provided, not links.
Another method that we will leverage is pay-per-use public cloud instances. With this, anyone can spin up RHEL images in the cloud and thus obtain the source code for all packages and errata.
Nice. Red Hat gets paid (lets remember that they do contribute significantly to the FOSS, they should be getting paid for their work), and RHEL clones do have a way forward. Sounds like a win-win.
I have tried to learn Linux for ages, and have experimented with installing Arch and Ubuntu.
There's your problem. Try Linux Mint.
Is it an unrealistic goal to want to eventually run a computer with coreboot and a more cybersecurity heavy emphasis? I’m still a noob at this and any advice would be appreciated!
Don't try to bite off more than you can chew. Start small and easy, with a beginner Linux distro, and once you've become really comfortable with that, you can try to move onto something less user friendly.
