I wanted to install Alpine Linux on the old Macbook Air 2011 because Alpine is small and nimble but it didn’t work. The latest build of Alpine’s USB stick gets stuck during boot after the kernel loads. Tried a bunch of tricks, nothing changed. So left it.
I run proxmox 8 on an old 2015 ish Macbook Pro. 16GB memory, silent, 500GB SSD, it’s a good machine. When Proxmox 9 came out, I wanted to upgrade it to 9. Proxmox has an upgrade guide. Followed it, everything went fine. After reboot and upon ssh, I realized, root was mounted read-only.1
Starting with Macbook M1s, you cannot simply delete partitions in the hard disk. If you are one of those that installs linux and edits partitions, you might get into a stage where you cannot create/edit partitions anymore. Diskutil commands also will not help you. As a last resort, you might want to reset the hard-disk and its not easy as in the old models. To make matters worse, you’re probably in recovery mode.
