Booting an installation medium on a Mac requires some additional steps, especially if you don't have an Apple keyboard.

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:
