Hi everyone,

My girlfriend has a 2012 MacBook Pro and she can’t macOS updates anymore because it’s Applecrap.

So I’ll dualboot Fedora and MacOS. We’ll keep macOS just for a few exceptions like iPhone backup.

I already have a Fedora installation on my Surface Go 1 and I took a lot of time setting it up perfectly. Is there any way to « clone » that installation on the MacBook so that I don’t have to go through everything again?

    Well just to give an update, I’ve now installed Fedora on that MacBook Pro and it was pretty easy. The only thing which didn’t work out of the box was the wifi. I had to install ROM fusion and then it downloaded some drivers.

    Otherwise everything ran smoothly except for the installation of the windows 10 virtual machine in gnome boxes. I had installed the flatpak one, but that one doesn’t allow you to use the usb ports, so I had to reinstall the machine on the Rpm version.

    So that old beast can now have a long life again!
