Macbook pro '19 dualboot

[BerZerg]

Hi!

So, I’ve got a macbook from my new employer and even though I was a bit disappointed it’s not M1 or M2 I was happy that it’s an Intel model so I can dual boot. Little did I know that macs are not that easy as other computers

So I’ve found a few manuals and ended up trying installing the specific distro from

GitHub - t2linux/EndeavourOS-ISO-t2: EndeavourOS ISO framework based on Arch-ISO

Normal distro doesn’t have macbook keyboard touchpad and wifi adapter support which is a bit complicated while I only have one usb-usb c adapter at the moment.

On the above mentioned repository you have two options:

1. create iso by running the commands
2. use premade iso from releases section.

When I follow the first route I can only get to this step:

And nothing else happens, live environment doesn’t boot.

If I follow the second route I’m able to boot into live environment but the installation doesn’t work as if I choose online installation I get different errors with pacman and pacstrap (?) even though I update mirrorlist, linuxkeychain and all packages (I’ve read about it in some EndeavourOS hot fix page).
During the offline installation I get errors as well.

Am I missing something? As I am able to boot into live environment I’m pretty sure everything is ok with disabling boot security.

During the offline installation I get errors as well.

It would be helpful to learn, what exact error messages you get during an offline install, as they can give hints to things not working. For a first run, I think offline install should be preferable to the online method.

Also, did you “eat” this site’s contents yet?

Yepp, I’ve looked at it a few times. Unfortunately I can’t provide the exact error… As the installation was successful this time! I just burned the release section ISO once again, chose offline installation and chose English locale (first time when I was successful, I’ve chosen Russian locale but it was broken) and installation was done in few minutes. Afterwards booting into installed system I had to update linuxkeychain separately and then yay worked flawlessly for updating everything else.
