Hello,

I know if I remove the whole internal HDD and I install only Linux, it will not work. Therefore, I think of keeping EFI and Recovery Mode, so Linux partition would.

I looked at the topic Can I replace MacOS with Ubuntu but keep my Windows partition?. But he did not say he removed or did not remove EFI and Recovery Mode partitions and he installed and booted Linux Mint successfully.

I intend to install Linux on an internal HDD without rEFInd and without removing the EFI and Recovery Mode partitions, and install macOS on an external HDD.

Do you think it will work?
