Installing Ubuntu on Macbook Vs Windows

[sendhalp]

Hi,

Just started with Linux. Been trying to install 18.04/18.10 on both Windows and Mac.

Is dual-boot installation of OS on Windows machine easier and straightforward as compared to MacBook?

Tried several installation to install on my MacBook, but somehow the installation isn't that successful.

If it's really the case, I may consider getting venture and see see look look at some Windows machine (thinkpad?)

Thanks

Not knowing your use-case, have you considered VirtualBox?. It allows a second OS to be run together with Windows/ OSX machine.

Nope,

at the moment no intention to run on virtual environment..

Your mac cannot do what Linux can do?
Both build on Unix .the UI is different only

Recently found Jupiter IO from this Singapore company: https://www.lattelrobotics.com/jupiter-io/

It says that no software installation is needed - just FYI if you are still having problems with Ubuntu installation...
