[Testing Needed] Dual Boot macOS 13.7 and Linux Mint 22.1 Installation Guide
Raw
installation-guide.md

Hello, I have successfully installed Linux Mint 22.1 alongside macOS Ventura 13.7.6 on a MacBookPro14,1 (2017 MacBook Pro):

mint-fastfetch

I would like to write an installation guide and add it to https://linuxmint-installation-guide.readthedocs.io by PR'ing it to https://github.com/linuxmint/doc-installation-guide.

If you have an Intel-based MacBook or Mac, I would like to request your help editing or testing the installation guide. It roughly goes as follows:

  1. Following https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_dualboot_with_macOS, use Disk Utility on macOS to add a partition to install Linux Mint in.

  2. Boot into the installation medium. You should see the following screen at some point. Select "Something else".

something-else

  1. You should see the newly created partition at the bottom. Select it and click "Change...".

change

  1. Select "Use as: Ext4" and the mount point as "/".

mount-point

  1. Select the EFI partition for the boot loader installation:

efi

  1. Click "Install now".

Also added to the Linux Mint Forums. I created the Gist to be able to attach images there.
