current partitions

sda is usb

p1 is boot for macos, p2 is root for macos

p3 is what I partitioned using the disk utility that comes with macos

I wanted to allocate that space towards linux

any help (that doesn't brick my machine) is appreciated

it's currently 11 pm for me and I'm a student so my response times may not be the best

lowkey going to bed so wont repkly for a few hours

Can you use the boot partition for both, macos and linux ? If yes you just have to make a simple partition formatted with ext4 or wathever you want

This is kinda new so, maybe we can keep some information from this

There's also some good info in the wiki

@plain coral i realize that the wiki is guiding us to set up dual boot on Mac

you should read it carefully

[plain coral]

@plain coral follow this video and run these commands before chroot
https://youtu.be/x0Qmaa38UM8

sudo mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc
sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev
mkdir -p /mnt/boot
sudo genfstab -U /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab
genfstab -U /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab
pacman -S vim

For connection use tether then install broadcom driver and do with networkmanager

If your Mac Is older than 2017, check the wiki or there should be another guide specific to that in the video desc
