linux

I am using a mid 2011 Mac Mini with a fresh copy of Lubuntu however I can't connect to WiFi. I have no way of connecting via ethernet so how can I get the drivers?

So, I have based all my wrong doing to this poor mac air 2017 into one wrong move. I originally didn't think that there would be a problem formatting the entire drive and putting Manjaro (a form of linux) on the computer as the only OS. All things considering, that's actually when I lost the...

Recently I bought old Mac mini from 2006 and I want to install 4 gb of ram in it and core 2 duo cpu. I upgraded cpu and then I googled that I need to upgrade the firmware to 2.1 for 4 gb of ram. So I used dosdude1 utility and successfully upgraded to 2.1, all was fine but I decided to install...

Hello everyone, i tried googling and looking here at the forum but couldnt find anything. It all started when i tried to install Linux next to Windows and MacOS, without refind which was probably my mistake.. In the end it didnt work and i could only start Ubuntu, not Windows or MacOS. So i...

I'm running OpenCore 0.6.5 and have a second drive with a working linux installation (followed the guide but switched from ubuntu to manjaro) The only thing I can't get working is the line-out audio! I have a pair of headphones connected and can't figure out what alsa/pulseaudio configuration...

I'm trying to install any debian-based version of linux (ie, Ubuntu) on my Mac Pro 7,1 but am unable. I ran the Ubuntu desktop live-usb one time and managed to get ubuntu mostly installed on a separate nvme drive in a PCIe slot, albeit ruining my windows bootcamp partition on the Apple internal...

There is a lot a talking about the virtualization success from windows 10 (ARM) on M1. But I'm interested in running Kali Linux virtualized on my M1 Mac. I searched through the whole internet and did some experimental testing using Alexander Graf's QEMU Hyperviser Framework, but without...

I'm looking for perspective on what to do with my early-2008 Mac Pro (3.1). In 2017 I bought a 27" iMac, and matching Dell 27" monitor. I ended up installing ubuntu linux on a new SSD drive in the Mac Pro, but I haven't been using it. I'm wondering if the old Mac Pro might be more useful as a...

For the ones who prefer Linux, any idea on how the new MacBook Air or Pro run Linux? I was looking for information specifically on ARM Fedora. Can we expect impressive performance and what about compatibility? Does it run smoothly with hardware acceleration and does it recognize all the...

I recently had an incident where a hacker got access into my Google Authenticator app and into a financial account. He's very savvy and now I think he's remoting into my Mac. I reinstalled the OS and changed my passwords yet I noticed Dashlane, my password manager was using 27% of the CPU. I...

Hey, I have an MacBook 2.1 (White) with a broken CD Drive. macOS is not installed on this MacBook (but it is possible to install macOS). I'd like to use Linux because newer versions of Chrome, etc., don't working the old macOS Version. My idea was to install Linux Mint Xfce on this Mac. I...

I removed an installation of Ubuntu from my MBP and now I have a 1.06 GB partition that won't mount and won't let me recombine it with the main macOS partition. I had read (yes, on the Ubuntu forums) that I should boot from and install from a flash drive and use Disk Utility on the installer to...

Something has been nagging my brain since WWDC: the repeated mentions of Linux during the keynote. What if Apple was hinting at something major in the pipeline? For years the company attempted to enter the server market, think of the generations of Xserve from the G4 to Intel. Yet while the...

Hi all. I have a Linux computer, and just today I added Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS alongside my already installed version of Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. I had what I think is a virus infect my computer, but (Thank God) I was able to clear it out. Does anybody have any tips on how to sync my stuff from 20.04 to...

Hi everyone. I have a Linux computer running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, and I was loving it a lot. So one day about two weeks ago, I logged in to my computer so I could check my MacRumors Forums, just like I do everyday, and I logged in to my computer. After the usual loading symbol, I waited for it to...

I've been trying for a while now to find a good file system to format external drives with. For a long time the best choice was plain old FAT32, but since it has a 4GB (or is it 2GB?) file size limit it's not good for transferring large video files, or holding games that use large archive files...

I always was fascinated by every device Apple produced. Especially the devices produced in the mid 2000’s I do like. The design of the aluminium PowerBook G4 inspired every following MacBook (Pro) and was really state-of-the-art. Okay, they have some issues: the G4 PPC CPUs are well-known for...
