Cris, I've been following your very helpful guide. Only issue is that every time the Mint install finishes followed by a reboot, the new Linux install doesn't appear as an option in the Apple boot menu.

Any ideas?

Hi Tom! Sorry for the delay on the response. Have you been able to figure this out?. It sounds like there's something wrong with the partitions (maybe?). Are you using rEFInd?

Let me know!

Hi, just wanted to say thanks and to say that of Kernel 6.8 the audio and touchbar fixes no longer work. But this is still the best tutorial I've found for getting the install set up and wifi working on a 2016-2017 macbook pro.
