NB: This project is currently not being actively maintained, and is not usable at this moment. Having seen this problem before while dual-booting Manjaro on an old machine I knew the easy fix was to create an APFS partition first then destroy it to bend macOS to my will.Instant Arch Linux on Macs & MacBooks While creating the partitions I ran into an issues shrinking the volume. Create Partitions Next I used Disk Utility to create some FAT partitions.
Apple has some as well as it's required for those who wish to use Boot Cramp to install Windoze (lame). About this Mac showing the first version of macOS Monterey Disable the T2 Chip See the T2 wiki for instructions on how to do this. Also, this would ensure I had the latest device drivers on the machine in case I need to use any during the Arch installation. Allocate Space To get started I freed up 200 gigs on the SSD by: Running Storage Management to identify waste to identify waste Running docker system prune because I actively use Docker because I actively use Docker Deleting cruft in ~/Library like old apps config like old apps config Clearing and limiting my Telegram cache Upgrade macOS I also made sure I finished upgrading to macOS Monterey as I was coming out of the Beta period and didn't want to take any unnecessary risks. The following is a overview of the Arch installation process I used.
As of December 2021, however, not only are the drivers working, there's an entire Wiki set-up around getting Linux on the T2 machines. Last time I looked to run Arch on my T2 MBP the drivers for the keyboard and trackpad were still under active development and so I got basically nowhere. So it's time to revisit dual-booting Arch Linux on a MacBook Pro once again.
And although running GNU/Linux in a virtual machine or via SSH to Termux on Android have their appeal, nothing beats bare metal. Since the 2014 MBP I was using to run Invisible Arch Linux finally died I've felt crippled in my ability to develop quality software effectively.
