Does this answer your question? How do I get my Mac to boot from an Ubuntu USB key? – karel Mar 02 '21 at 01:50

I've just installed Ubuntu 20.10 on an iMac 2009. I removed HighSierra totally.It was pretty straight forward.

I downloaded the ISO
I created a USB key with balenaEtcher under HighSierra
I rebooted with Alt key pressed and chose the USB key as the boot volume (i.e.: "EFI Boot" instead of "Macintosh HD")
I followed these instructions for single boot and voilà!

I could even run Try Ubuntu before installing it.
Everything worked right out of the box. (except my mouse cursor issue)
