An Overview of Quad-Booting Macs
Apple's a $1T Company for a Reason
T2 Security Chips
When it comes to quad-booting, you'll get the most bang for your buck from the newer Intel-based Macs; however, Apple integrated their secuity "T-chips" into most of their Macs beginning in 2016. It's not impossible to quad-boot these Macs, but they do involve a higher level of complexity to the process, particularly when it comes to installing Linux. You'll want to get familiar with the info put together by the good folks over at t2linux.org, or at least thank them, since we've duplicated much of the guidance here on this website.
Flex versus Brunch
When Google says they "officially support" a competitor's device, they mean, they expect you to wipe the drive and only have chromeOS on it, because that's exactly what their chromeOS Flex installer will do . This is fine on Macs with removable HDs and/or SDXC slots, neither of which Macs after 2015 have. Thanks to a coder named sebanc though, we can install regular chromeOS using an emulator he programmed called "Brunch." ChromeOS being what it is, ideally, either Flex or Brunch would be installed to removable media.
rEFInd at the Core
None of this would be possible without a powerfully flexible boot manager like rEFInd, which Rod Smith has ben developing and maintaining for over 15 years now. It sits on the invisible EFI partition and looks for bootloaders in the same location. Great thing about it is, if the bootloader for one of the OS's fails, perhaps due to an update, you can simply boot into a different OS from rEFInd and probably fix the issue. Not only is it functionally amazing, but its form can also be customized to amaze. We themed it with a minimalist look for the "Think quadratic." brand.
