2017 MacBook install

teep

Has anyone successfully installed Solus on a 2017 MacBook A1534?
Would love some pointers, I just get a flashing folder icon.
Void installs without a hitch. It is my fallback but I'd rather be on Solus.

teep some threads on here about macs if you do a search but I am not really sure if any
got running I would have to go back and read them myself to see prob a good starting point.

Axios I've read through a good number and tried quite a bit. I can get any distro running EXCEPT the one I want, which is a huge bummer. Seems some people have success on older hardware which makes sense. But for some reason I can't get it to recognize it is even around once installed.

teep Sounds like the boot entries either aren't created upon installation or they get lost somewhere in the process. You can try manually creating the EFI boot entries with efibootmgr from the live session. That requires you to install the package to the live system as it isn't included in the ISO.

stalebrim I've now given that a few tosses, haven't had any change. Will continue working on this. Fast approaching the point of picking up a Framework Laptop and being done with the attempt at using a MacBook in a realistic environment.
