linux

Hey there! I recently have been pondering about switching to Ubuntu, or an Ubuntu based OS (Zorin/ElementaryOS). I enjoy the Mac ecosystem, but my main Mac is a Hackintosh (Similar specs to a low end 2013 Mac Pro but better GPU) and my MacBooks are a 13" and 17" from 2009 and 2010, respectively...

What is the absolute latest version of linux that will run on a G5. I seen the Lubuntu Remix on here (16.04), but curious if instead of getting a PC I can still get a good number of years off a Power Mac... I know... it's weird but I want to use something other than intel and AMD... but you guys...

Hey guys, first post here and it's gonna be a bit of a monster... I couldn't find a unified guide on all this anywhere, so here it is. I hope it helps someone avoid the frustrations I had. I'm intentionally being verbose here so this is as approachable as possible, sorry if sometimes it seems...

Does anyone know how the progress is coming for Linux to run on M1 natively? I know back in June / July the 5.13 kernel was supposed to have support for M1, but have any distributions come out that support M1 Mac's natively?

Is it possible to boot Linux only, without a macOS drive? If so, what bootloader would I use?

I am using a mid 2011 Mac Mini with a fresh copy of Lubuntu however I can't connect to WiFi. I have no way of connecting via ethernet so how can I get the drivers?

So, I have based all my wrong doing to this poor mac air 2017 into one wrong move. I originally didn't think that there would be a problem formatting the entire drive and putting Manjaro (a form of linux) on the computer as the only OS. All things considering, that's actually when I lost the...

Recently I bought old Mac mini from 2006 and I want to install 4 gb of ram in it and core 2 duo cpu. I upgraded cpu and then I googled that I need to upgrade the firmware to 2.1 for 4 gb of ram. So I used dosdude1 utility and successfully upgraded to 2.1, all was fine but I decided to install...

Hello everyone, i tried googling and looking here at the forum but couldnt find anything. It all started when i tried to install Linux next to Windows and MacOS, without refind which was probably my mistake.. In the end it didnt work and i could only start Ubuntu, not Windows or MacOS. So i...

I'm running OpenCore 0.6.5 and have a second drive with a working linux installation (followed the guide but switched from ubuntu to manjaro) The only thing I can't get working is the line-out audio! I have a pair of headphones connected and can't figure out what alsa/pulseaudio configuration...

I'm trying to install any debian-based version of linux (ie, Ubuntu) on my Mac Pro 7,1 but am unable. I ran the Ubuntu desktop live-usb one time and managed to get ubuntu mostly installed on a separate nvme drive in a PCIe slot, albeit ruining my windows bootcamp partition on the Apple internal...

There is a lot a talking about the virtualization success from windows 10 (ARM) on M1. But I'm interested in running Kali Linux virtualized on my M1 Mac. I searched through the whole internet and did some experimental testing using Alexander Graf's QEMU Hyperviser Framework, but without...

I'm looking for perspective on what to do with my early-2008 Mac Pro (3.1). In 2017 I bought a 27" iMac, and matching Dell 27" monitor. I ended up installing ubuntu linux on a new SSD drive in the Mac Pro, but I haven't been using it. I'm wondering if the old Mac Pro might be more useful as a...

For the ones who prefer Linux, any idea on how the new MacBook Air or Pro run Linux? I was looking for information specifically on ARM Fedora. Can we expect impressive performance and what about compatibility? Does it run smoothly with hardware acceleration and does it recognize all the...

I recently had an incident where a hacker got access into my Google Authenticator app and into a financial account. He's very savvy and now I think he's remoting into my Mac. I reinstalled the OS and changed my passwords yet I noticed Dashlane, my password manager was using 27% of the CPU. I...

Hey, I have an MacBook 2.1 (White) with a broken CD Drive. macOS is not installed on this MacBook (but it is possible to install macOS). I'd like to use Linux because newer versions of Chrome, etc., don't working the old macOS Version. My idea was to install Linux Mint Xfce on this Mac. I...

I removed an installation of Ubuntu from my MBP and now I have a 1.06 GB partition that won't mount and won't let me recombine it with the main macOS partition. I had read (yes, on the Ubuntu forums) that I should boot from and install from a flash drive and use Disk Utility on the installer to...
