I’m experimenting with a 2014 macbook pro upgraded to macOS 14.4 (Sonoma) with OpenCore Legacy Patcher, Linux Mint 21.3 Virginia and Linux Mint 21.3 Xfce.

First, I installed Linux Mint 21.3 Virginia and I could boot both to macOS and Mint. Then, I created another partition and installed Mint Xfce on it.

Now, I can only access both linux operative systems and macOS has disappeared.

What I don’t understand is why now the notebook boots directly to grub instead of booting to OpenCore Legacy Patcher

    If they all support EFI, you’ll be out of disk space before you hit the limits of EFI partitioning.

    Unless you’re one if those challenge accepted people who will try installing 10,000 floppy drive-sized microlinuxes on one system.

    We’re assuming useful daily driver desktop as the benchmark here. Not boot to a console with nothing on it.
