install Linux on an Intel Mac

	install Linux on an Intel Mac

	instructions assume the following:
	you are preparing the Linux installer on a Mac running macOS 14.6
	(older versions of macOS may reference some specifics with slightly different naming in Disk Utility, but the logic is the same going back to macOS 10.11)
	for the purposes of this tutorial, Linux = Elementary OS 7.1
	essentially a stripped-down Ubuntu with a much better UI and a separate app store layer that will feel very familiar to those who have used Apple's App Store

Enabling Dell 1135n MFC via SANE for USB and network scanning

	# This POC worked great in Elementary 6.1, which is based on Ubuntu 20.04, but SANE should be relatively agnostic as to distro

	# my gist expands on https://ubuntu.forumming.com/question/8436/how-do-i-get-ubuntu-18-to-ldquo-see-rdquo-my-dell-1135n-mfp-39-s-scanner

	# The Dell 1135n MFC is a re-badged Samsung SCX-4623FW, though has unique USB idVendor and idProduct identifiers

	# determine your printer's IP address if you wish to use network scanning; for this example, I will use 192.168.1.111

	# edit /etc/sane.d/xerox_mfp.conf
	# add the following lines

Quick how-to on building System76's power management on Elementary OS 6.1

	# (assumes a standard install of Elementary OS 6.1)
	# (following steps are cleaned-up and condensed from 100% trail and error, but easily figured out based on compile outputs)

	# build
	apt-get install -y git cargo libdbus-1-dev pkg-config libusb-1.0-0-dev
	mkdir ~/git_repos
	cd ~/git_repos
	git clone https://github.com/pop-os/system76-power.git
	cd ~/git_repos/system76-power

Created November 30, 2020 23:03

Details efforts I've taken to get U-20 Editor to work in Wine 5 (not successful so far)

	setting up U20_Editor in WINE 5.x

	These instructions assume an environment based on Ubuntu 18.x or 20.x; actual environment where this was tested was Modicia 20

	# install Wine
	sudo apt-get install wine-stable

	# get the U20 Editor installer
