Hi there people! I’m having an issue with my MacOS Sierra installation. I’m having a MacBook Pro 2017. Every time I try to te-install the Os it fails. I hope someone has a solution for me.
Also, don't quote me on this tho, but I'm pretty sure that 2017 MBP's came with High Sierra from the factory, and not Sierra? Macs don't let you run operating systems older than what they came from the factory with. One thing you can do tho is to use this tool: https://github.com/corpnewt/gibMacOS

Installing Ubuntu to Mac vs Installing to a virtual machine, difference?
Hey all, I'm a bit new to Linux and want to learn about this new world as many different may be here. I have a Macbook Pro 2019 16in (Touchbar) and I want to install Ubuntu (I have 22.04 downloaded at this time). I found these instructions on installing Ubuntu to my similar model of laptop https://github.com/marcosfad/mbp-ubuntu. I saw another thread on an apple page and they suggested just installing Ubuntu on a VM instead for stability. I'm wondering what the difference would be for installing it on a VM vs my computer. Does anybody know of the benefits or consequences of this?

I had all sorts of issues running every single popular distro (at least in my opinion) like Arch, Debian, Fedora, Ubuntu, Manjaro, Pop, and even FreeBSD but I had 0 luck. Finally, I tried this iso with the patches included but no luck with WiFi.
