I’m shifting my old 2012 Mac Pro to Linux and, while mostly a smooth transition, firmware and drivers are the only real headache.

Wezterm is my daily driver.

I’ve been working through this on my old 2012 Mac Pro. My issue has been my graphics card. In that era any non-mac graphics card won’t give you the boot-screen you need to choose which OS to use, or even to choose a USB boot for installing the Linux os. I got Refind (a super light bootloader) to work with a bit of extra tooling. You can also use opencore, but that is more challenging and makes a lot more changes.

They’re just a Four Loko for pussies.
