When you mention that "i am actually not the first person to do this the original post is by KTrad i recommend checking it out", I assume that you are referring to the following discussion topic, started by "KTrad" in June 2023, right?

64-bit Ubuntu MATE images for 32-bit EFI Macintosh Computers

For those of us with older Intel based Mac computers you might have come across the fact that the 64bit ISOs will not boot on these machines leaving you stuck at a black screen that you can't select boot 1 or 2. I have made the following ISOs for Ubuntu MATE 64bit that will boot and install without this issue. The machines this should work on are: iMac 5,1 – iMac 5,2 – iMac 6,1 Macbook 2,1 MacBook Pro 2,1 – MacBook Pro 2,2 Mac Pro 1,1 (only one I can test) If you're interested in how I did…

Also, in your message, you mention that "so yeah here are some precompiled images and the applications for making it". HOWEVER, the Google Drive link that you included in your post - windowsfile [ "6432iso.exe - Google Drive" - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1w2WXU1aYo2m4cHLQdigNBnADcO-Rn-Oy/view?usp=sharing ] - contains a single Microsoft Windows executable file, with the name "6432iso.exe", which has the size of (approximately) only 80 KB (80394 bytes) - and a sha256sum hash of eccafe04e9330ef5898f4cdb51e8e78cef3eb8d5a47d72c967e1672f5da109c5 - Could you please explain how you generated that Executable file? Thanks in advance
