You're facing challenges installing Pop OS on your external SSD for dual boot. The T2 chip issue is likely the main hurdle, especially with the main SSD. Consider formatting the external drive beforehand or using a different distribution. Check if the thumb drive itself needs adjustments after flashing the OS. Avoid relying heavily on virtualization unless necessary.

Consider using Ubuntu or a lighter distribution. Maybe a 32-bit Linux OS works better. Check what settings were applied during the ISO flashing process.

It seems the system isn’t detecting the retina display. Since you haven’t installed Ubuntu yet, you’ll need to set up the correct display settings before proceeding.
