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:

First, add the ubuntu-toolchain-r/test PPA to your system with:

sudo apt install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test

Install the desired GCC and G++ versions by typing:

sudo apt install gcc-7 g++-7 gcc-8 g++-8 gcc-9 g++-9

Think twice before abandoning X11. Wayland breaks everything!

Wayland breaks everything! It is binary incompatible, provides no clear transition path with 1:1 replacements for everything in X11, and is even philosophically incompatible with X11. Hence, if you are interested in existing applications to "just work" without the need for adjustments, then you may be better off avoiding Wayland.

Wayland solves no issues I have but breaks almost everything I need. Even the most basic, most simple things (like xkill) - in this case with no obvious replacement. And usually it stays broken, because the Wayland folks mostly seem to care about Automotive, Gnome, maybe KDE - and alienating everyone else (e.g., people using just an X11 window manager or something like GNUstep) in the process.

Update!

This gist is out of date and I can no longer help much, as I got rid of my Mac.
