On Ubuntu, launch the Install Ubuntu application from the desktop and install Ubuntu as you normally would. Launch your Linux distribution’s installer and go through the installation process. Select the USB or disc drive containing the Linux system and boot it on your Mac. Once Linux has been installed, you can boot back in Windows and launch UNetbootin once again to remove UNetbootin from your system. Restart your computer and rEFInd will appear. You can follow these instructions for adding Windows to Grub menu after installing Ubuntu or Debian based Linux distros.

It supports many Linux distributions along with Linux based tools such as emergency antivirus ISO images. This may not correspond well to your exact hardware, but I recently used Etcher to create a bootable Ubuntu 18.04 and 16.04 USB installation media, and was able to install Ubuntu (either flavor) onto a SATA SSD installed in a 2009 Mac Pro (that was updated to 2010 firmware so it reports MacPro5,1).

But what if you don’t have a blank CD/DVD or a spare USB pendrive for use? Even in those cases, you can use UNetbootin to install Linux in your Windows PC directly from the hard drive. You can also use tools like Rufus to create bootable USB sticks or pendrives from the downloaded ISO images for installing Linux. All the Linux distros are available in the ISO image format that you can download from the internet, burn on an optical disk (CD or DVD) and then install on your computer.
