Assuming all went well, you now have Linux running on your Mac and you can test it out or install it outright if you're tired of macOS. You still have an Apple recovery partition which is accessible by holding Cmd + R while your machine boots. This can help you reinstall macOS (or apply other fixes) if you decide to go back.

For more, check out how to install macOS from a USB flash drive. And if you'd prefer to install Linux on your internal drive, our guide on how to dual-boot Linux on your Mac is your essential next read.
The bootable GParted Live image can also be installed on a USB flash drive. Following are instructions on how to setup GParted Live on your USB flash drive using either MS Windows or GNU/Linux. NOTE: These installation methods only work when the USB flash drive is formatted with a FAT file system. Some users have reported that only the FAT16 file system worked for them. For other file systems you might try to use grub or some other boot loader.
Other Linux-on-a-stick options, such as Puppy Linux or Quirky Linux, require considerably more configuration steps and frugal installation processes to enable persistent memory. Slax gets the job done with a simple folder drag. Installation per se is eliminated.
Yes, you can get added performance speed from Slax when loading applications from the hard drive and performing other computing tasks, but that tends to be overkill. You can not run Slax from a hard drive installation on a dual boot system, which presents other issues.
I also was able to run Slax by booting from a USB plugged into a laptop computer that dual boots into Windows 10 and three other Linux OSes. Pressing the appropriate key when the computer powers up displays the Slax booting option along with the various hard-drive installations.
The website has detailed directions for getting Slax up and running. That process does not involve much preparation at all. If you are a first-time Linux inquisitor, you can purchase a mini DVD (US$19.95 or microSD with USB reader ($29.95) with all that you need preinstalled.
As is typical for purchasing preinstalled Linux OSes, you are paying for the storage medium, not the free open source operating system. Otherwise, you can download the 277.7MB Slax ISO file in just a few minutes.
You do not have to burn the ISO to a DVD to try out Slax. Nor do you have to use a special program to install the ISO to the USB device. All you have to do is open the ISO file and drag the Slax folder directly to the USB device.
Navigate to the /slax/boot/ directory on the intended installation drive. If you are using a Windows computer, double-click on the bootinst.bat file. If you are using a computer running Linux, double click on the bootinst.sh file.
Whatever your favorite computer games and other utilities are, they are not bundled in the Slax Linux ISO. So, despite the hassle-free pseudo installation, Slax Linux requires a significant setup to make it useful for doing much of anything.
Normally, Linux distros require the use of sudo to authorize system commands. I did the installation without using sudo or superuser. However, there is no installation process for Slax Linux, so you do not have to use login and password credentials when you load the OS. If you use the sudo preface, you will need the authorization password.
It took me about one hour to download the must-have computing applications and accessory tools that fit my needs. The installation of each program takes longer than a distro installed to a hard drive. USB drives are much slower than an internal hard drive.
PowerPC distros prior to version 12.04 have separate 32-bit and 64-bit installers. The only PowerPC Macs that can use a 64-bit operating system are G5 iMacs and Power Macs. Anything before G5 can only use a 32-bit Linux. Starting with version 12.04 the 32-bit and 64-bit versions are part of the same package for Macs.
I do, however, have a few 8 GB and larger USB flash drives, and there are plenty of instructions online for properly formatting the flash drive and getting the bootable ISO installed. And none of them worked on my Power Mac G5. I would spend hours trying this, that, and the other thing. Formatting the flash drive was the easy part; installing the ISO and creating a bootable system stumped me.
Booting from the DVD-R was a breeze after all the frustration I had to deal with creating a bootable flash drive and then actually booting from it. I wiped the 80 GB drive in a 2.0 GHz dual-processor Power Mac G5 with 3 GB RAM and installed Lubuntu. I ended up with a very nice, friendly, functional Linux machine that lets me run the latest version of Firefox on a 2005 Power Mac that was left behind with Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard shipped in August 2009.
Slax is a very handful and customizable Linux distribution that runs directly from USB. The amount of effort put to make it portable and modular was definitely huge. While some default software choices may not be that much agreed upon, installing/removing whatever you need from Slax is very easy according to your needs.
The distro's homepage claims it will also run on 128MB of RAM, although a full 512MB is needed if one wants some web browser action. Chrome is, however, missing this time around (although "you can still install it with a single click or two").
We fired it up on a sacrificial VM (64-bit, although a 32-bit version is also available should one have suitable hardware to hand) and can confirm the distribution works well. The missing Chrome browser (dropped for space reasons) can indeed be installed in a few clicks, although an alternative might suit some users better.
Flatpak stores data for installed applications (the XDG config/data folders) under $HOME/.varIf you have previously installed Remmina with another package manager, you will have to transfer what was under $HOME/.config/remmina and $HOME/.local/share/remmina under, respectively /.var/app/org.remmina.Remmina/config/remmina and /.var/app/org.remmina.Remmina/data/remmina
There is an official Arch Linux Remmina package. Or, if you want to use the AUR, install remmina-git.There are also some external, not supported plugins provided by Muflone and otherArch Remmina Protocol plugins
Hello this is my first time using etcher so please bear with me here but im trying to make a bootable snow leopard mac os on a usb drive on my windows computer and this is the error I got from etcher, the ISO im using is a snow leopard iso i found online but im not sure what a partition table is the while the mac did boot from this usb, halfway through installing with this usb drive it runs into an error so im not sure what the fix here would be, any help is appreciated. Thanks!
I just wanted to write Windows installer ISO-s on Mac but the same issue happened. Then I managed to make it on a Windows using Rufus. Now, Rufus DID make a bootable drive from the SAME ISO which balenaEtcher failed to make from.
In this article, we will explain to you how to enable USB support on Virtualbox. The current version of VirtualBox 6.0 comes with support for USB 3.0, and to take advantage of it, you need to install the latest version of VirtualBox Extension Pack.
Make sure you have installed Extension Pack on the host and enabled USB 2.0 in your VM Settings. Also, create a USB filter in your guest VM settings while the device is connected and delete all values except Name, VendorID, and ProductID.
I have installed virtual windows XP on host ubuntu 20.04 (Pop OS 20.04), everything goes smoothly, but when I try to add a USB device, the USB tab in my VM shows all the options, but are shadowed and thus unable to select.
By default, Tiny Core includes the base OS, assuming you have an Ethernet connection to the internet so you can install only the applications you need. It's such an extremely efficient model that it doesn't even include an application to install the OS (although you can download it from the Tiny Core repository when you're ready to install).
Installing Tiny Core is easy, once you download the tc-install or tc-install-GUI application using the Apps icon in the launcher bar at the bottom of the screen.
You have several options to install Tiny Core. You can install it to a thumb drive formatted as a Linux drive (this requires your computer to allow booting from a USB drive, which is common in most modern PCs but was less common for older ones), to a Microsoft FAT thumb drive (a hack for PCs that don't normally boot from USB drives), or even to a directory in an existing Linux partition.
Since it comes with little more than a text editor and a terminal, the first thing you should do is install some applications. The Apps icon in the bottom launcher bar displays all the Tiny Core packages available to you. The Apps repository also includes important drivers, so it's useful when you're looking to get a WiFi card or a printer working.
When installing a new application or utility, you can choose between having the package load into Tiny Core at boot time or on demand. Choosing to load a package at boot makes it available to you immediately and still available after a reboot (as you would expect). Choosing to load it on demand means the package is available after Tiny Core downloads the package, but after a reboot, it won't be loaded into memory. This may keep your boot time fast and Tiny Core's footprint in RAM tiny, but it also means the package data isn't loaded into memory until you use it for the first time each session.
Installing SliTaz to a thumb drive or hard drive is done through the TazPanel application. It guides you through partitioning your disk (as needed) and installs SliTaz to the destination you choose.
The TazPanel application is SliTaz's control center. If you're a fan of OpenSUSE or Mageia (née Mandrake), you might find TazPanel familiar, at least in concept: it's a single application that provides access to system configuration, hardware detection, user and group management, system updates, and application installation. 2ff7e9595c
