I'm a beginner using Linux and have used Mint, Kubuntu, Ubuntu, Manjaro, ElementaryOS and Fedora on another machine (Macbook Air 2013).
I have an old MacBook Pro I wish to revive, but I can't seem to get it to boot and install on any distro except Lubuntu (specifically 18.04 alternative). I can get it to install but then it just sits in black screen forever I've tried waiting and many posts on here but I can't get anything to work. I get the USBs to boot and bring up a menu for install or try Linux but no matter what I do I can't progress to any further steps except with as the aforementioned Lubuntu. Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated.

Hi thanks @wxl for all the help I have figured it out i just need to boot into the installer with noacpi nosplash nomodeset, and have rEFInd preinstalled fixed all the problems i was have getting into the live session and graphical installer. So far I've tested and had success with mint, kubuntu, ubuntu, and manjaro. Thanks Wolve_Saint
