It is important to note that partitioning your hard drive also splits up your available hard drive space. Note: If you want to run Windows on your Mac, Apple's Boot Camp assistant will automatically make a partition for you. It makes it possible to run two separate operating systems on one device, like Windows and macOS, or two versions of macOS (like Catalina and Big Sur). To boot it, Press option and start your Mac.Partitioning your Mac is basically splitting your hard drive into separate, usable systems. Here you go, you now have a bootable Ubuntu stick that you can use on MAC.Extend the partition to its full size by using either resize2fs or do a Check with gparted.Copy the existing casper-rw into the new partition (replace below /dev/sdXY with the correct partition): sudo dd if=/media/ubuntu/MACUBUNTU1/casper-rw of=/dev/sdXY status=progress.From a Linux session, with gparted, reformat MACUBUNTU2 into an ext4 partition.In order to fix this, we will resize casper-rw.At this stage you have a perfectly working Ubuntu USB Live stick.Tick This ISO lacks an EFI-enabled kernel.Make sure to untick Skip the boot selection menu.In Mac Linux USB Loader, create the bootable in Create Live USB.The persistence file should be 4GB and should be named casper-rw (or writable if you are fine with a 4GB only persistence) Launch Mac Linux USB Loader and click Persistence Manager to Create a persistence file on the first partition MACUBUNTU1. ![]() The second partition labelled MACUBUNTU2 and MACUBUNTU3 can use the rest of your thumbdrive (ie 55GB and 55GB if you have a 120GB thumbdrive).The first partition labelled MACUBUNTU1 can be fairly small, ie 10GB.On your Mac start Volume Disk Utility and Create 3 FAT32 partition on your thumbdrive.The easiest solution to create a live persistent USB on Mac OS seems to be by using Mac Linux USB Loader, or the free version that you will have to build from github. That is because a lot of distribution do not have EFI bootable support. ![]() And with persistence attached to the USB thumbdrive you can persist any data you want: files, config, software installed.Ī lot of the UI tools available will fail to make USB stick bootable on Intel Macs. I have had this mania recently to want to have my linux running on just any single computer I touch and without putting a mess on that computer. ![]()
