I've been booting Linux regularly from an external SSD since ~2016. This was after I encountered the same bs you did with it installed in an internal drive: I think I lost data when OS X upgrades first introduced logical partition containers in anticipation of APFS, and again when APFS was introduced.
Starting this year I no longer use Apple devices, since everything work-related I do in Linux.
- simonh 6y agoI was using boot camp through that whole period and don’t think I lost a byte. I had time machine backups anyway. Maybe I used time machine restores as part of the migration though, I can’t remember.
- jhanschoo 6y agoBoot camp is different, though, since the installars are aware of that partitioning case.
