Probably because the sound is hardcoded into the firmware, because Apple, and fuck you

They’ve been doing this for decades. The Mac boot sound has been hard coded since Macs were a thing.

SGI used to do this with their Irix workstations.

macOS installs a recovery partition and hides it from you so you can always restore it.

I think the firmware boots you into a macOS mode so you can always recover your macOS system, but when you finished installation Linux may have nuked it.

I’m not an expert though, I’ve just been using Mac’s for 15+ years and have had to reformat several over the years.

I’ve never installed Linux as the primary OS before.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
