Duckfell225y@RichardoC Yeah that's what I had figured. Most articles I could find had it working on older models.
I've got a fairly old 2012 i7 Macbook pro if I remember correctly. -
mishaor17915yNot a Macbook, but a Mac mini. 1.66 model, needs rEFInd + 32-bit EFI binaries to boot from a flashdrive without any special preparations. To boot from the Alt menu, you need to specially prepare the USB drive with a special file structure and a HFS file system. But Linux works fine otherwise, except TPM doesn't work for some reason (suspend too, since Linux fails to suspend the TPM and cancels the suspend). Custom Openbox/GNOME 3 worked fine, even 720p30 videos on YouTube were playing fine. Minecraft 1.7.10 was abysmal tho.

Anyone had any luck installing Linux as the boot OS on a Macbook?
I have an old Macbook Pro with a dead battery that I'd like to tinker with, and while it looks possible from what I've found online, I'm curious if anyone here's had any luck.
