Support is not included in any of the currently released distributionsĪs a default kernel. I don't recall which of the post v5.4Ĭurrently you cannot easily install Linux onto an Apple computer which uses the T2 security chip because the Linux Kernel with the T2 To get some of these features working and I believe v5.6 may be I'm fairly sure you need at least kernel version 5.4+ The T2 security chip only just recently got merged into the mainline Linux support for the Keyboard & Trackpad, the networking drivers, and and had exactly the same problem.Īm I doing something wrong or is it impossible to install Linux as dual boot on a MBP with a T2 chip? I tried my coworker's MacBook Pro, exactly the same model, specs, etc.I just thought that maybe macOS wants to see a separate partition or something like that. For x reason, I also made separate partition for Ubuntu, but that didn't change a thing.I used balenaEtcher for writing ISO to a USB flash drive.Under External Boot, selected Allow booting from external drive. entered recovery mode, Startup Security Utility, under Secure Boot, selected No Security.I tried the same flash drives on my older MBP where there is no T2 chip.Both show up the same on the Startup Manager window. I tried Sandisk USB-C flash drive and also type-a flash drive with Apple USB-C to USB-A adapter.Hold down the Option key to get the Boot Select menu.

I click the Update button, and the Apple logo comes on with a loading progress bar. Then it shows that there's a necessary update.

Select either of the flash drive ones and after about 5 seconds, I get Apple logo on the screen with loading bar. Right now, I have Windows 10 installed with Bootcamp. I would like to install Ubuntu Desktop, 18.04 or 20.04 on my MacBook Pro 2019 16' so it would be on dual boot, but I'm having problems with it.
