Apple's MacBook Pro laptops have become increasingly unfriendly with Linux in recent years [...] But now with the latest Mac Mini systems employing Apple's T2 security chip, they too are likely to crush any Linux dreams.

At least until further notice, these new Apple systems sporting the T2 chip will not be able to boot Linux operating systems.

[...] By default, Microsoft Windows isn't even bootable on the new Apple systems until enabling support for Windows via the Boot Camp Assistant macOS software.

From Phoronix.

    The modern 'macbook pro'* is one of the worst excuses for engineering I've ever seen in my life. "Linux" would be insulted if you ran it on such trash anyway.

    *Do not confuse with the older 'powerbook' machines - they were worth having. And still run linux fine.
