Now use a clone app on the mac, like CarbonCopyCloner, to make a clone of your actual disk with everything on it to the still external disk.

I read your this article. Follow the steps outlined in the article with these adjustments. I'd set up three partitions instead of four: macOS, swap and Windows. I'd adjust the macOS partition to the size you want to for linux. I'd install linux over the top of the macOS partition.

Windows can't read APFS.
To get back to macOS you need to hold the Opt ⌥ key at startup.
BTW, don't ever let Windows adjust anything on your drive. Consider that Disk Management tool as a read-only utility. It doesn't understand how it's being fooled into thinking it's in charge & will break things.

I know you've already reset the NVRAM, but the first thing I'd try is to reset both the NVRAM and SMC in that order. Before following the steps below, ensure you have no external hardware connected and make sure you use the built-in keyboard.

I have the same problem on a 2014 iMac running Mojave. Its 3TB fusion main drive filled up as I was downloading a 5 GB file. The write failed to complete and immediately the disk became read-only.
Now no command in disk utility or in single user or recovery mode can escape read-only mode, so no repair or reformat or OS reinstall is possible. I see no ...
