Where is the actual ISO file?
Um, sorry if this is a dumb question.
Where is the actual iso file? How do I actually use this to get ubuntu working on my Macbook Pro? Where's the iso?
Also, the mac that I'm installing ubuntu doesn't have anything on the disk. I erased it

You want to download TWO FILES, the .zip and the .z01 and unpack them with 7zip or similar. Not all archivers will join the two files, but I know 7zip does so.
@Runaway1956 Ok thanks. I'm downloading them on a laptop that already has Ubuntu on it, and I don't have 7zip. (I am downloading the files on a separate pc). I have dowloaded both files (livecd.zip and livecd.z01). What do I do now?
Really sorry if I'm confusing...I'm really confused about this for some reason
sudo apt install p7zip
And, please read marcosfad README https://github.com/marcosfad/mbp-ubuntu
Also, I feel uncomfortable trying to help people here - if you have Discord, you might join https://discord.com/channels/595304521857630254/706581810745966653
@Runaway1956 sorry i dont have discord. I have p7zip, but what do I do now? I cannot find any arguments that can join the two files.
@Runaway1956 I have tried many things and cannot figure out how to get p7zip to unpackage them and join the files. Am I doing this right?
you should be able to combine them with cat livecd.z?? > full.zip then unzip full.zip
@Redecorating This didn't work. The .z01 file is a weird file that when I try to look into the zip it just says it cant display it and also I can't unzip it because of that. Also the .zip file is weird too...unzip won't unzip anything (also if I try to flash the full.zip to a disk with belena etcher, it has an error).
So how am I supposed to get the iso?
Is everyone sure that I'm supposed to somehow combine the z01 and zip files? Because earlier releases don't even include a z01 file! It's just source code, livecd.zip, and a file called sha256. How am I supposed to get the iso?
P.S. The installation instructions in the readme make no sense. Why would I download an official ubuntu iso if I'm trying to use the iso that's supposed to be in this repository? Why not just include the iso...?
@Alex-Fullam https://github.com/AdityaGarg8/mbp-ubuntu/releases/tag/v20.04-5.15.12 You can use this ISO. It has everything, including wifi set up already.
Also, marcosfad was bound to split the ISO because the size of the ISO must be greater than 2 GB which is not permitted to be uploaded as a release by GitHub.
i am going to use it, but you are a medico, can i rely on this image for my office work?

It's just a modified @marcosfad code
ok thanks, seems i can use. But to be brief, what exactly you have modified, just to list

Only the kernel. And added T2 specific drivers

Even I use Linux for Biotech research BTW.
@marcosfad It might also be good idea not to include full-paths in the zip or sha256 file. Using relative paths makes it easier to run shasum -c sha256 and have it check the file in the current directory.
For example, this
SHA256-HASH filename.iso
versus this
SHA256-HASH /home/runner/work/mbp-ubuntu/mbp-ubuntu/filename.iso
