Hi all,I have spent the last two days experimenting with Fedora 33 on a 2017 12" Macbook (Macbook10,1). Unlike some previous Macs I have installed Fedora on, out-of-the box peripheral support is fantastic. I didn't have to install a single driver myself, everything was included. /praise overAfter reviewing our "dualboot with macOS" testcase [0], I noticed that the testcase says it's based on a Mac running macOS 10.12 Sierra. At this point in time, macOS Sierra is almost 5 years old. I would like to update this testcase to reflect that it supports *any* OS from macOS 10.12 Sierra to macOS 11 Big Sur. I have tested these myself for compatibility and find that they all provide the necessary means for a dualboot install.On a side note, I would also like to include a small notice within the testcase that mentions that Fedora is not supported on the new Apple Silicon M1 computers and that this testcase only applies to Intel-based Macs.I have made these changes as I see them to my own wiki page [1]. Please review the page and propose any suggestions here. Feedback is welcome. If I don't hear any major squawks in a week or so, I will merge the changes into the official Fedora QA wiki.
The changes look good to me. Thanks!

It's a teeny modification but you could make it macOS 10.13 High
Sierra as the cutoff. There's a chunk of hardware for which 10.13 is
the latest officially supported version. And also Apple only supports
two current versions of macOS, which are now 10.15 and 11. The vast
majority of macOS users upgrade within a year, so the bulk of the user
base is on 10.15 and 11.
There is a Fedora Media Writer signing issue related to a macOS bug in
10.13, so I wouldn't fuss one bit if you want to make the test case,
or at least for blocking purposes, 10.14 and higher.
So you can't get FMW to run on 10.13 without workarounds? If the cutoff was set to 10.14, we wouldn't be able to utilize our old Mac Mini 2011 that we have for testing in Brno office. 10.13 is the latest Mac OS X we can get to it.
