Manual Approach to Creating a Mac Bootable Arch Linux Flash Drive

#CREATE A USB LINUX LIVE FOR MAC INSTALL#

The advantage to using a flash drive is that you will not have to install Arch Linux on any of your internal drives. This boot of Arch Linux will be done from a 1 GB or larger flash drive. This will allow you to use the commands shown in the web link you provided. I propose that the best way, to accomplish the creation of the bootable drive, is to boot the Arch Linux operation system on your Mac. There are many possible solutions to this problem. In other words, there is no equivalent for the Arch Linux mkfs.ext4 command. The computer I use is a MacBook Air (11 Inch, Mid 2012), macOSMojave 10.14.6.There is no command in macOS to format a partition to use a linux file system. My USB Stick has the size of 32 Gb in case it's relevant. The program just got stuck and looked also quit different than on the video (it's 5 years old, that might be why). Where I got stuck on the mac Linux USB Loader writing the iso file on the USB Stick. I got this in the terminal and couldn't proceed.ДЇdisk: cannot open /dev/loop0: Permission deniedДЇdisk: cannot open /dev/sda: Permission deniedДЇdisk: cannot open /dev/sdb: Permission denied In terminal, type fdisk /dev/sdb (use YOUR correct path here)

Until the balenaEtcher part, but it is not persistent because as soon as I restart ubunto all changes are gone. How can I create a persistent live USB Stick for xubuntu 20.4 on a mac?
