@Ergo it's not for me, it's for a friend. I can't Linux her

@kaia cant you just boot into the startup menu thing and just reinstall the native MacOS.

I think my macbook air has a memory chip that contains the version of the OS it shipped with and it can format itself

@Ergo I'll experiment tonight. I never ever touched a Mac, but my escort friend thinks I can repair hers.

@kaia @Ergo Decades ago every mac had a "recovery" partition with the OS on it. Do not know if that is still the case.
