Installing linux (Debian) on a 2011 Intel mac mini

Apple have long stopped supporting the mid-2011 mac mini I had sitting in the living room, so rather than contribute to the e-waste problem I decided to stick linux on it. The general consensus seems to be that you should keep macOS bootable to make it easier to deal with any firmware issues down the line, so I wanted to set it up to dual boot. The documentation I was able to find on how to do this seemed scattered or out of date.

Setup Hyper-V enhanced session for Ubuntu 20

I couldn't find instructions that were 100% complete, so I put this together.

These instructions worked fine for me. Follow each step carefully.

Download Ubuntu 20 desktop

DO NOT create the VM by choosing Quick Create in Hyper-V Manager. Follow these instructions exactly.
