How Do I Put Linux on My Macbook Pro?
Contents

Can you install Linux on a MacBook Pro?

Yes, there is an option to run Linux temporarily on a Mac through the virtual box but if you’re looking for a permanent solution, you might want to completely replace the present operating system with a Linux distro. To install Linux on a Mac, you’ll need a formatted USB drive with storage up to 8GB.

Is it worth installing Linux on Mac?

Mac OS X is a great operating system, so if you bought a Mac, stay with it. If you really need to have a Linux OS alongside OS X and you know what you’re doing, install it, otherwise get a different, cheaper computer for all your Linux needs.
