I'm considering to dual boot an Intel Macbook, but first a legitimately stupid question: is the dual boot 'undoable'? I sound like a facebook mom right now I feel but I've never dual booted before, and I assume that if you assign the GBs of RAM to your Linux boot, and later want to remove the dual boot, you can reassign it fully?
eg:
Initially: 8 GB Macbook boot
Dual: 4 gb mac & 4 gb Linux distro
Later: 8 GB Macbook OR 8 GB Linux distro (ie., fully shifted to Linux).
is that possible? i assume it is...

As far as I know, if you have a dual boot setup, when you choose what OS to go into, it will use the 8GB available. You dont have to split it 4/4. You're only using one OS at a time, so whichever you choose on booting up will use the 8GB you have. Yes it is "undoable" as such. There won't be a button to undo it just like that, but there will be plenty guides out there I'm sure.
