I have a 2020 MacBook Air m1 and a 2015 MacBook Pro. So I’m backed up in that regard. I was going to dual boot mint on my MBA 2017 which is running Ubuntu but it’s only a 121gb machine so that probably would screw everything up or make it real slow and lose data on the existing Ubuntu OS

I figure I install it in the MacBook 2018 (which is biblically hated in the Mac community so no love-loss there) and no data lost if things go awry …
