Fedora runs great on Macs, but I think of is better if you do a clean install because of the Mac bootloader, and then copy all of the configs.
You can do a script to install all the software you need.
What do you mean by clean install? Wiping MacOS and then reinstalling it alongside Fedora? I won't really be able to do that since my girlfriend wouldn't want to lose her not backed up data.
By clean install I mean plugging the USB, install only fedora, replacing macos and then coping your configs and data.
Of course, back up before you do anything.
You can also try Fedora KDE and theme it to a MacOS aesthetic so she feels at home.
I recommend you to try the live USB before installing. Probably WiFi wont works so you either look at drivers in the repository, or get an USB WiFi dongle.
Well I think that finally what I'll do is just install Fedora and make her use MacOS/Windows 10 in Gnome Boxes or something similar. I have heard about sosumi for Mac OS and apparently it works well. I just have to figure if sosumi downloads Macos or if I have to get a copy myself.
Well I managed to install Sosumi and it takes care of downloading MacOS for you. But, it doesn't seem stable and I've given up on it. So it'll just be a windows 10 VM in Fedora for everything related to her iPhone.
