I ran into issues with this in the past, where Cachy would boot, but I couldn’t get into LM. As the Wiki suggests, osprober likely would have fixed that, but I had security concerns about using it.
For LM 22.1 and Cachy 6.16, installing Cachy (using Grub) first and then LM worked flawlessly with manual partitioning done according to the guide on linuxmint.com. Hope this informal tip helps another novice out there.
