Installing EndeavourOS on a Mac with the T2 Chip¶
You will need:
- USB drive with at least 4GB
- A way to plug it into your Mac (USB-C isn't USB-A)
- A wired internet connection (i.e. USB-C to Enternet dongle) or Wi-Fi.
-
Follow the Pre-installation steps to prepare your Mac for the installation.
-
Boot into the ISO and start the Calamares installer
- If you're not connected to the internet, connect to it now. Use included GUI config tool to connect to Wi-Fi.
-
On the "Welcome" window, choose...
- "Install community editions" if you want to install community edition.
- "Start the Installer" if you want to install normal edition.
-
If you chose to install normal edition, choose "Online" or "Offline" depending on your needs.
-
Follow the installer until Partitions.
- Select "Manual partitioning."
- Select "/dev/nvme0n1p1" partition, set the "boot" flag, and set it to mount under "/boot/efi". If you want to use separate EFI partition, check out this guide.
- Use remaining partition space to your convenience.
-
Follow the rest of the installer and reboot.
-
You can follow the Fan guide after rebooting into your install if your fan isn't working or if you want to customize how/when your fan will run.
-
You now will be able to select your EndeavourOS install in the macOS Startup Manager by holding option at boot.
