anyway...

I have never successfully dual-booted a mac into linux. There’s some extra
kajiggering that’s required beyond what Bootcamp can do for you. Parallels
is a good hypervisor because it lets you boot into the guest virtual
machine from the Mac desktop and integrate a lot of the features of the
guest VM into the Mac desktop, like adding the guest applications to the
host launch pad. If you want to go cheap, though, I think you can run
Virtualbox (one of the hypervisors of choice for the Cochise College IT
students) and install a linux VM on that. Won’t be integrated with the Mac
desktop but it will run Linux on a Mac.
Typed with my thumbs on my iPhone. Expect typlos.

If you wouldn't mind sharing the details of that I would like to install a
dual boot on a mac mini.

Charles,
Thanks for input but I'm going to do a dual boot with a program called
"Parallels 16" which Reggie, the head of the "Geeks Squad" told me about.
Thanks again,
Ron Yonker

are you planning to install ubuntu on your macbook? Can't remember what
you call it, but you have to go in and change something in the bios to
allow you to install it, and you have to use a DVD, you can't use a usb
drive. So you have to burn the iso to the DVD, or CD, and then boot from
that to install ubuntu.
Sorry can't remember the names of things, I'm an old dude and my mental
HD is not so good, and it's been a couple of years since I messed with the
apple stuff.

Ron, here's my 2cents worth.

This is way more than you need to get started. If you are a Mac
person, Ubuntu will be easy to adjust to. And personally, I find the unity
desktop more agreeable to me than the gnome that it comes with now. You
you
can download an "unubuntu" version of 20.04 or you can use the terminal to
install the unity desktop. If it comes to that with you, I can send you
how
to do that...cheers

You don't have to buy anything. The information is out there and it
is free. Devi provided one such book and here is another specifically
for
Ubuntu 20.04 beginners
https://ubuntutor.com/ubuntu20eng/Ubuntu%202004%20english.pdf. Our
project will allow members to explore new distributions without
installing
them on their computer or using a VM such as Virtual Box.

decided on Ubuntu; so my question to you is what is the best beginning
book
to buy to understand Ubuntu? Or is there another book to consider 1st?
Thanks,

Soon the Cochise Linux User Group will be embarking on a new
and exciting project in an effort to introduce its members to different
Linux distributions other than Ubuntu (gnome) and Linux Mint
(Cinnamon).
We have acquired two Dell Latitude 5580 laptop computers which we
intend to
use to introduce the membership to Distros such as; Debian, Manjaro,
AntiX,
MX Linux, Peppermint, Elementary, Zoran, POP OS, Bodhi Linux, Linux
Mint
Debian Edition, Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Linux Mint Mate, and Ubuntu Budgie.
This
is intended to expand the members knowledge of Linux in general and
Linux
distributions in particular. More information will be available at the
monthly CLUG meeting on 28 August 1300-1500 at 143 Street Tacos, 80
