Before I do something stupid, am I safe to boot to this MacOS usb drive? It was flashed via dd using the High Sierra ISO from archive.org.

I don’t want overwrite my installation which I’m pretty sure it would prompt me to install beforehand. Just want to do a quick sanity check first.

I appreciate the rec but windows is a no-go for me. I think I’d rather cut my teeth on the Linux stuff now than wait another 5 years, ya know?

Thanks for the help, I’m going to try disabling it later today.

I was under the impression the nvidia drivers would help my system run a bit more efficiently. So if this provides the same result then I’m happy. Thank you, I’ll try this out later today!

Somehow, living a stressful life of uncertainty causes mental strain 🤔 good to have actual evidence to back it up though.

You don’t even have to be an expert to see that this is one of the stupidest ideas ever conceived.
