Hello
I am trying to install Ubuntu on a mac computer, in particular a iMacPro1,1. I am following this instruction: https://linuxnewbieguide.org/how-to-install-linux-on-a-macintosh-computer/ I have partitioned my hard drive and burned an iso on a usb stick using etcher. However, when I boot into the ubuntu I don't get an installation view as in step 3 of the instructions that I linked to. Instead there's a black screen that fails to disappear and the installation screen doesn't appear.
My computer has a T2 chip. In the comments to the post linked above there was a comment:

Hi Sir,
I think your tutorial is not based on the mac machine with T2 chip. Although you mentioned turn off secure boot, enable external boot, actually T2 chip still block the
pcie (nvme, thunderbold) ssd to the Linux OS, only usb drive is visible. Because the Linux can’t see the nvme(internal) or thunderbolt (external) ssd, I only tried install
linux in a usb3.0 disk. The installation can go on, but halt at installing boot loader.
'
Do you know how to get past it?
Any help would be appreciated!
