[Testing Needed] Dual Boot macOS 13.7 and Linux Mint 22.1 Installation Guide

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):

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".

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

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

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

6. Click "Install now".

Ah ok didn't know there was so much to the t2 chip apart from booting into recovery and allowing bootable media..

For now Etcher is not loading any .iso am in standard user mode right now, checked in admin account had same bs, will rename iso to shorten file name etc as discussed MANY problems with this Etcher software.
Suggest you find an alternative app (to avoids inexperienced users using dd) for the GUIDE.

I will let you know what I find sir. First will try linuxmint-22.1-cinnamon-64bit

Strange. Did not have issues with balenaEtcher before.

Suggest you find an alternative app (to avoids inexperienced users using dd) for the GUIDE.

Feel free to submit a PR to suggest an alternative in the official Linux Mint docs. The guide I wrote is only concerning dualboot.
