Ubuntu 22.04 on MacBook Pro 2017 (A1707, MBP 14,3)

Summary

Random set of notes and links that have helped me in the saga to get Ubuntu 22.04 up and running on my 2017 MacBook Pro These notes are mainly for myself in the event that I have to do this again some day. But if you find them helpful, that's great.

Important update

Unfortunately the MacBookPro that I bought second hand turned out to be a dud with some serious hardware flaws that didn't show up until a couple of months after I'd bought it.

I've since purhcased another laptop so I'm not going to be able to maintain this GIST.

I'll leave it here for now in case others want to contribute updates, or clone it. If you feel it's out of date or misleading or a waste of time, let me know in the comments and I'll remove it.

Business models based on the compiled list at http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4924647. I find the link very hard to browse, so I made a simple version in Markdown instead.

How I mada a Datasette out of a feather file

Fantastic data journalism by Christine Zhang at the LA Times: https://github.com/datadesk/homeless-arrests-analysis

First I grabbed the data - a zipped feather file:

wget https://github.com/datadesk/homeless-arrests-analysis/blob/master/arrests.zip?raw=true
mv arrests.zip\?raw\=true arrests.zip
unzip arrests.zip
