Can I boot Solus Budgie without GPU?

MMB

Hi!!

My Mac Mini AMD Radeon HD 6630M died .. on macOS you can see this because there is just a white screen when you try to do anything, when booting the Mac mini it goes stuck to a white screen. There is a trick on macOS to disable the radeon GPU or any other GPUs (where you need to boot in recovery mode and write things on Terminal.. is called 'white screen of death' I am trying to find that so you can get an idea) After that macOS would boot without graphical acceleration, some apps work almost fine, some don't; but before it won't boot at all.

But I don't have macOS installed on the mini so I need, if possible, to boot Solus whitout GPU power. Found this on this forums. Is this an option?

Any other ideas? Thanks!!

How to disable Radeon card. (Not perfect solution but it works)

Boot your mac in single user mode (Press cmd+s while booting)

Mount your root partition in read/write mode ( mount -uw / )

Move all ATI kernel extensions to another directory ( mkdir /ATI;mv /System/Library/Extensions/ATI* /ATI )

and reboot your mac.

After any MacOS update, ATI kernel extensions will be replaced. So you have to repeat this steps.
