Installing CentOS on Apple Hardware

Installing recent CentOS versions on Macs is not as straight forward as I wish it to be. I repeatedly had issues even getting the installation media to boot. In this snippet I gather my findings and present a way to successfully install CentOS on a Mac.

Tested using CentOS Stream 8 on a Late 2014 Mac Mini.

1. Preparing the Installation Media

When using the usual methods of creating a bootable USB drive (e.g. by using balenaEtcher) I was greeted by a black screen. In order to successfully get to the CentOS installer I did the following things:

It is merely an incompatible alternative, and not even one that has (nor wants to have) feature parity (missing features). And unlike X11 (the X Window System), Wayland protocol designers actively avoid the concept of "windows" (making up incompr
