deb/ub on apple laptop?

[Todd Cole]

the last intel macbook pro we did at the installfest worked perfect ubuntu
18.04 uefi the hardest part was finding the boot key "C" as I recall and
added gnome tweaks to adjust the trackpad and add right click
the ram in that one was EEC but could be added and increased and I hear
that the newer macbook pro has integrated ram so no upgrades are possible
