So I have a macbook that's in restore mode and I can't get it to install the OS that's on it. Just keeps giving me errors. Is there anyway I can just put linux on this? Any help would be very appreciated 🤝

You can create a bootable USB (or DVD if you have a mac with an optical drive) with any Linux OS. Then to boot into USB/DVD just hold alt when booting up your mac and it will show up. You can then install Linux on your mac or just run the live version from your USB. Hope that helps.

Alright awesome thanks for the help. How do I make it a bootable USB? I have a large usb but is there a software I need to make the macbook detect it?

As long as the live preview is installed on the flash drive properly, the mac should recognize it.

There are guides on how to burn the Linux ISO to a USB on their websites. (Apr 6, 2016 05:30 AM)mixnet Wrote: Exactly. There are guides on how to burn the Linux ISO to a USB on their websites.
