On Friday 21 September 2018 21:14, Arlen H. Holder conveyed the following to alt.os.linux... > Quick question about Ubuntu/MacOS dual boot basics. > I ask here and leave off the Apple folks since they just play silly > games. > > In your experience... > Q: Can the Mac dual boot to Ubuntu or at least boot off a bootable > DVD? A: ? That should be possible, yes. For dual-boot installations, you should look into something called Boot Camp, which ─ as I understand it ─ was designed to allow Windows users to install Microsoft Windows on a Mac alongside the native macOS. And if you can use it to install Microsoft Windows on a Mac, then you most certainly can install GNU/Linux on it. In fact, Linus Torvalds himself has or used to have a Mac that runs (or ran) GNU/Linux, although that may still have been one of the PPC Macs, from before Apple switched to Intel processors. The PPC processor is (or was) either way supported by the upstream Linux kernel. Of course, in that case you also needed a distro that was compiled for PPC, and not all distros support an equally wide variety of processor architectures. > Q: If yes, does Ubuntu recognize the native Mac file system? > A: ? In read-only fashion, most certainly, yes, but I don't know whether GNU/Linux can _write_ to HFS+. I seem to recall that it cannot, but you'll have to put in the necessary legwork to discover that for yourself as I don't personally own a Mac. But even if it's writable, then I would still not advise using HFS+ as the main filesystem for your Ubuntu system, because HFS+ is case- retentive but not case-sensitive. You could however use a small HFS+ partition for sharing data with macOS ─ again, if it's writable to the Linux kernel, which I don't know. -- With respect, = Aragorn =
