Installing Fedora on a 2012 MacBook Pro (sh.itjust.works)

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?

oh damn this is new information to me :0 I thought Macs were just generally locked up

Macs being extremely locked with nightmarish propietary Apple shit is kinda new. In old Macs you can just boot from an USB and install Linux. For windows it was a bit more dificult since you needed some bootcamp shit.
