I’m experimenting with a 2014 macbook pro upgraded to macOS 14.4 (Sonoma) with OpenCore Legacy Patcher, Linux Mint 21.3 Virginia and Linux Mint 21.3 Xfce.

First, I installed Linux Mint 21.3 Virginia and I could boot both to macOS and Mint. Then, I created another partition and installed Mint Xfce on it.

Now, I can only access both linux operative systems and macOS has disappeared.

What I don’t understand is why now the notebook boots directly to grub instead of booting to OpenCore Legacy Patcher

    Reading the OpenCore docs, you should have a bootable USB stick made to install the patched version of macOS.

    Grab that, plug it in, hold option, and your disk should be available in the boot menu. Once you’re back in macOS you should be able to reinstall the openCore bootloader.
