System Installation – How to Install Ubuntu on a Mac Using Bootcamp

macsystem-installation

I want a native Ubuntu installation, not an VM. Do I have options on my Mac (that don't involve destroying the 'Mac' portion of it) or should I just switch to a standard PC? If I do have options, it would be nice to know what they are :-p

Best Answer

You have options! There are help pages for installing on Macs that show the hardware support and installation alongside OSX.

Here is the page where you select which hardware you have:

Just click through, select the version of Ubuntu and you'll get some installation instructions. Be sure to check the hardware compatibility too because you might not want to install if certain things aren't going to work.
