it seems a better idea not to wipe the MacBook Pro, Core i5, 2.8 GHz (I5-4308U), model A1502 (EMC 2875) but to partition the drive and install a linux based os on it.
Do I download all I need directly to the mac or do I use my linux desktop to download and then install to the mac with an usb cable?
Any reason why you wouldn’t go the usual route for PC (put the ISO on a thumb drive and boot from it)?
thanks
