installation on macbook air

Hello !

I want to install Zorin on my 2011 Macbook air ( intel core 2 duo, 2Go ram, 128 Go SSD)

The problem I might have, is that these computers use EFI ...

Is it possible to install Zorin on it ?

At the end of the install, where should I install GRUB ? On the / partition ? or on SDA ?

Thanks a lot !!

Bye

Then you might hit a snag - I don't think it is possible to dual-boot if EFI is installed - if that was your aim - whether you would have more success if you installed 'Parallels' I don't know.

I'm afraid it looks like the only distro you might have luck with is what Zorin is based on 'Ubuntu' - as they have 'Mac specific' .iso's:

But Ubuntu 13.10 does install correctly with dual boot...

(and I don't want to use ubuntu because I hate Unity, and Ubuntu is waaayyyyy too slow !!)

Is that because you downloaded the Mac specific .iso? You could always remaster 13.10 and get rid of unity by doing this:

1. multimedia:

Code:

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

2. remove Amazon shopping lens with:

Code:

sudo apt-get remove unity-lens-shopping

3. Provide alternative to unity:

Code:

sudo apt-get install gnome-shell

After the last one has been downloaded and installed, make sure your custom Ubuntu boots Gnome3 instead of Unity with:

Code:

/usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm-set-defaults -s gnome-shell
