The problem

To perform some maintenance tasks on a MacBook Pro, I needed to use ArchLinux.

Device: MacBook Pro
Operating system: Fedora
Software: Fedora Media Writer, MacOS

Guidance for MacBook Pro, Fedora, Fedora Media Writer, MacOS

First of all, if you don’t have one already, grab a copy of ArchLinux, great, now get a copy of the Fedora Media Writer, you will see:
