Another reason that science should always stick to #FOSS- Elsevier retracts two research articles after software maker complains that authors didn't have a valid license https://www.theregister.com/2024/11/14/academic_papers_retracted_software_licensing/
@thufie thanks for replying!
It's a 2015 MacBook pro, Intel I have more specifics I can look up at a later time.
I got the laptop secondhand and I don't have any desire to dual boot so I just went ahead and did a clean install and cleared the ssd
@salmon from what little I know, the advice can change dramatically based on the particular hardware you are trying to use.
One thing to be careful with is the boot process modifications suggested by older tutorials, and special disk regions that can retain system recovery information. It sounds like you may have already gotten started, but in the future it might even be worth cloning the original disk as a known good backup for that particular machine before you proceed.
How old are we talking? What architecture? Which year's hardware revision? Devices used for things like graphics and wifi have changed from model to model.
Anyone know of a guide to getting Linux to run (optimally) on older Mac hardware? I've got Ubuntu installed and I got the webcam working but I hear there are other proprietary drivers for graphics and power management that are important to have.
Given that Apple loves to obsolete their devices and their relatively nice hardware, I'm surprised there aren't more comprehensive guides to installing Linux (beyond the basic, create install media, not to EFI, etc) on Mac hardware.

@polpo you know what's crazy? One time I accidentally cracked a full-size SD Card open, and I found that inside it was just a microSD card adapter with a permanently attached microSD card.
Emergency - CWed begpost after robberies and medical-related fees in foreign country, boost appreciated
Hey friends,
My fiancee's phone has been stolen in Liverpool and we have no way to get in touch with her family.
We've had to pay for a cab to try and get my meds. Our cash has been stolen and we have bank fees.
We're here to see her family but are stuck in West Kirby and have to go to the South of London.
Any help is deeply appreciated please, thank you so much!
Help sky afford transition care and medical expenses as they and their family move to a safer state other than florida. Florida has proved to be unsafe for trans folks due to recent anti-trans legislations and an increasingly hostile environment against trans folks.
Goal: 1412/8000$

Programmer and IT girl. Pseudo-vegan for the environment (-avocados +oysters). Very uncomfortable with astrology. Please don't call me "dude", "bro", "man", etc. Radical egalitarian anarchist, hierarchies and hate are incompatible with a free and equal life . For real though, I'm not gonna tell you to vote or post about political spectacle that is outside our control and in-actionable. Aiming to have a similar amount of internal contradictions as my environment like Ashby's Law of Requisite variety. I am probably stoned on some variety and dosage of cannabinoids if I am awake if you hate stoners just dni. I am also a trans woman so I *checks notes* meme about femininity and feminization sometimes. After dark account at: @thufieplus but read my bio there before sending a follow request even if we are already mutuals here. Oh and just to be clear because I think I see other white people on here trying to fake not being white under a bunch of other text, I'm just a disoriented white girl trying her best.
