Installing Fedora on a 2012 MacBook Pro (self.fedora)

Hi everyone,

My girlfriend has a 2012 MacBook Pro and she can’t macOS updates anymore because it’s Applecrap.

So I’ll dualboot Fedora and MacOS. We’ll keep macOS just for a few exceptions like iPhone backup.

I already have a Fedora installation on my Surface Go 1 and I took a lot of time setting it up perfectly. Is there any way to « clone » that installation on the MacBook so that I don’t have to go through everything again?

Well I think that finally what I'll do is just install Fedora and make her use MacOS/Windows 10 in Gnome Boxes or something similar. I have heard about sosumi for Mac OS and apparently it works well. I just have to figure if sosumi downloads Macos or if I have to get a copy myself.

Well I managed to install Sosumi and it takes care of downloading MacOS for you. But, it doesn't seem stable and I've given up on it. So it'll just be a windows 10 VM in Fedora for everything related to her iPhone.
