Many problems with macs and ubuntu: "You manually have to add the wifi drive" how????
Installed 20.04.1 on my mac mini, but it won't access my mac mini driver. The attached document chronicles some of the terminal work I did trying to find out what the driver in my mac mini is. But, I'm lost in a sea of confusing computer double talk...
Please look a the attached document and or, help me get ubuntu online via my mac mini. thanks, Charles.

Devi,
Regarding my question about dual booting my macbook pro with Linux: It can be done with a software program called "parallel 16." Click file below.
