Are there any Linux people on Mastodon?
I want to know how best to dual boot Linux on an M1 MacBook Pro. Ideally Ubuntu, as that's what I'm used to having provisioned on servers. I would like it to be stable, and support as much of the hardware as possible, including an external monitor.
It would be nice if I could boot from an SD card without partitioning the internal drive, but I doubt this is possible.
I do not want to run it through virtualisation software hosted on macOS, because my goal here is to see how feasible it would be to fully switch my everyday life over.
I probably have other idiosyncratic preferences that I currently assume are too normal to mention, but will prove to be strange.
How does one do this in 2025?
