Hi everyone, new the forum here and looking to become a Trisquel user.

I have a Macbook2,1 that has a 32-bit EFI but a 64-bit CPU. It seems this issue was resolved in the Ubuntu community where there is a workaround for a 64-bit installation on a 32-bit EFI, something to do with creating a 32-bit boot sector on the ISO?

I'm wondering whetehr this problem has ever been addressed and resolved in Trisquel, and if so, preferrably with Libreboot.

Thank you

Welcome. :)

According to this answer,[1] the Ubuntu 16.04 installer works in this
situation. Since Trisquel 8 is based on Ubuntu 16.04, the Trisquel 8
installer might work too.

If it doesn't, you might have to chroot from a live session after
installing in order to install 32-bit GRUB. If that turns out to be
necessary I'll explain how. For now, I would give installation a try and
see if you run into problems.

Is the machine already librebooted?
