Ubuntu 20.04 on a 15" Retina MacBook Pro (Mid-2014)

These are notes from my efforts to get Ubuntu 20.04 installed on my older MacBook Pro. I'm making this gist public in the hopes that it's helpful to others.

I did a Minimal install, but selected the option to install additional 3rd-party drivers.

Wifi doesn't work during the install (because it requires a 3rd-party driver), so you won't be able to choose to download updates while installing. No big deal, run a software update after the install.

The installer takes about 25 minutes to complete. Post-install, most things work. The only driver I had to manually install was for the FaceTime camera. More on that below.

Before following the guide, you should be familiar with GPG and Keybase... oh and Linux ofcourse!

The dollar sign($) means the terminal input.

Requirements

- gpg # which is preinstalled in linux
- git
- zsh
- oh-my-zsh

{% set posts = site.query('/blog').include_hidden(false).all() %}
{% if posts %}
  {% set new_month = '' %}
  {# create a dict or it will not work #}
  {% set x = {1:2} %}
<ul>
  {% for post in posts %}
    {% set this_month = post.pub_date.strftime('%B %Y') %}
    {% if not x[this_month] %}
      {% set this_month_count = 0 %}
