I got my dead internal display to work with an external display on mirrored mode, and I got it to reliably boot past Apple‘s incredibly finicky AMD graphics drivers.

I ordered a bottle of Jim Beam, and I’m going to bed. I’m fucking exhausted.

If anyone wants to offer further advice, go ahead, but any Apple bashing will be firmly ignored because I just don’t have it in me to take it

    Please don’t judge Linux as a whole because you have troubles installing it on hostile hardware. I’m a full Linux user, from my router to my phone and everything in between. But installing it on Apple hardware has always been terrible. Linux is not welcome there.

      No no no, you misunderstand

      I would not have spent this fucking long and this much effort working on getting it installed on this machine if I didn’t think Linux was worth it.

      But I also highly value Apple hardware, especially the older stuff

      Edit: I have about 15 years experience with Debian based distributions, and have a little bit of experience with red hat based distro. But diving in with fedora at this level will be new for me. An adventure! And on especially bitchy hardware!

      I’m going to drink a bottle of bourbon tonight, and figure this out tomorrow, lol

      Edit 2: i’m watching Star Trek two wrath of Khan in 4K with my cat. I encouraged the rest of you to do the same. Happy memorial day weekend 😊
