Install ubuntu on mac with no OS

ca flag

I have a mid-2009 MacBook Pro with no OS and I would like to install Ubuntu on.

It is stuck with a flashing question mark folder.

Is there a way I can install Ubuntu using a USB on this Mac? Note that I can't get past this question mark, I've tried most things in the support site. I cannot find a source that aims on how to install Ubuntu with this condition.

Can you boot from a pendrive? You will need to make a bootable ubuntu pendrive to install it. Then, according to this link
How to boot a Mac from USB media


You could boot from it and star you journey.

Good Luck.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
