How to get HDMI work on MacBook Pro M1? Doesn't work on mine

Please ensure you have a restorable backup of your Fedora installation.

Please attempt this only if you’re comfortable with the steps mentioned here and be prepared to do a fresh install.

Read the Partitioning cheatsheet

Use the command line diskutil in macOS. The gui diskutil can not deal with this properly.

  1. Comment the “/boot/efi” line in /etc/fstab
  2. Copy the contents of the EFI system partition (~500MB FAT/MSDOS partition) from macOS (parts need to be copied back from macOS later)
  3. Delete the EFI system partition and the ~2.5GB APFS partition directly before that, should have “Fedora” in its name.
  4. Start the installer (curl https://alx.sh | sh ), install into the free space (~3GB) and do an UEFI-only install
  5. After completing the installation (in recovery after pressing the power button for ~15 seconds) not press enter to reboot when asked in the terminal. Instead kill the installer with control + c and select macOs as startup disk and rebooot into macOS
  6. Copy the saved folders EFI and m1n1 from step 2 back to the new EFI system partition and reboot into fedora
  7. Update the UUID of the “/boot/efi” line in /etc/fstab and uncomment it
