On an iMac 21'' Mid 2011
my AMD GPU
seems to have gone bad and not able to boot macOS
, I am now booted into an Ubuntu 21.10
usb with persistent filesystem and can see both the cards in terminal. The question is how to load the Intel
card instead of current llvm
used by Ubuntu, I have tried the GRUB modeset
options for both AMD and Intel but they do not work and result in black screen, probably because of how macOS handle hardware access.
