For me, I have a 2017 13inch MacBook base model, and it's only a dual-core i5. So it might be better at running a Linux distro than mac os. And so far none has worked that I liked. Most of them the wifi does not work or the trackpad does not work. Since my MacBook also has a 2k display some Linux distros will not size with the screen correctly and the scaling will make icons smaller. However elementary os seemed to work straight up in the live enjoinment and I didn't have any scaling issues at all. (without sound ofc)
got a 2011 macbook air - running ubuntu studio on it currently. Its the smoothest running Ive seen it. The screen looks good, audio is nice. Shame it's not the 8 Gb Air, but as it was gifted - cannot complain. It just works well.
Personally, in terms of drivers I've had the most luck with Manjaro on my MacBook Air, specifically XFCE. It's also fairly easy to configure it to look like MacOS too. Really Manjaro is nice since the AUR has some of the more obscure drivers I need for Apple hardware.
I've been thinking of trying Manjaro on my Air for a while now. How has your battery life been? Were you able to get all drivers to work including the webcam and sleep/suspend functions?
@@brandonpaul3985 Battery life is not great, although my MacBook is a few years old and the battery isn't great anyways. It's maybe a little better than it is in Windows 10 but the best battery life I've gotten is in MacOS. As for drivers, sleep/suspend worked for me out of the box but I could never find a working version of the FaceTimeHD driver for my webcam. It's similar issues that I experienced in Ubuntu, and the Bootcamp webcam driver is also pretty buggy. Overall I'd say give it a shot but I'd go for vanilla Arch or Garuda instead next time.

Hello. Seems like a common problem tracked here with the solution to install drivers/patch: github.com/Dunedan/mbp-2016-linux#audio-input--output Other solutions: 1) Get audio via the hdmi cable 2) Plug USB audio card/headphones
@@NomadicDmitry devs dream laptop. You can get macOS, Linux, and Windows (via Bootcamp) all on one machine. Too bad the RAM is soldered and storage is proprietary (though upgradeable). Otherwise it’d be the perfect machine.
Dmitry, thanks a lot for showing the distris! I want to try installing on the "bucket" Mac Pro, hope this tincan can run Linux as well.. One question: On the "Mac Finder" I can show the file path as "columns" in the window (not symbol or list), something Windows cannot do, but is very versatile. Is this in these Linux distributions possible? (like elementary or Kubuntu?)
Hey there! Linux distros are nothing but a bunch of components glued together in many forms :) I haven't used Linux for some time as a primary OS, but I think that Nautilus file manager could achieve that task.
@@NomadicDmitry i really wana change my career from music production to cyber security, n m planning to take CCNA certification, so plsss help me out how to successfully install Kali Linux on my Macbook pro with everything, like working wifi n touchbar
Nice video, I'm just a scrub, so i'm really well acquainted with that blue screen. I think for me personally the one that looks really similar to the apple OS would be best, mainly because the others seem very alien to me. But thanks for the video, I learned a lot. I didn't know you could do this stuff with Linux.
Any details of what happens when you try to install it? As far as I remember the firmware of the device should be updated to the latest version and you might need to install rEFInd there as a bootloader
@@NomadicDmitry Thanks for getting back to me. My MP 2,1 (was a 1,1) has been updated as far as it will go and, as you probably know, Apple crippled the EFI with 32bit but the machine has 64bit architecture and so it is no problem to run Windows 10 Pro, which I have installed on a seperate disk. I am also running El Capitan ( a special version that has been modified (not by me) to run on the 1,1 and 2,1 machines. Yesterday, I installed Linux on a disk using my MP 5,1 and then installed it in the MP 2,1 but rEFind did not see it when it booted up. Every time I have tried to install Linux in the past, I get the same issue - It remains invisible or if I try to install via a CD, the CD will not boot (You can't boot from a USB drive on MPs 1,1 and 2,1). When I loaded rEFfind yesterday, I though I might be able to install it but it does not give me a choice of where (which disk) to install it. Of course, you can run Linux in a virtual machine but I was hoping to use my MP 2,1 mainly for Linux and Windows. Windows runs very smoothly on the 2,1 (SSD and 32gb Ram). That's about it. Any thoughts?
lol that does not boot the hardware bx linux drivers if you are using refind (drivers are just efi cals ) y installed kubuntu 21.04 macbook pro mid 2010 wich is lower than 2014 y booted even windows 11 on it all hardware recognised

It totally depends on: 1) Your usage 2) Brightness 3) Mac vs Linux. On Linux the battery is discarging faster, for some reason the optimisation for battery is not great 4) Most inportantly - battery cycles. I have almost 1000, my battery is very old. It gives me only an hour of running time even on Mac OS
@@NomadicDmitry Thanks for the answer.. Yeah I also have a MBP (15" late 2013 with dGPU) but I'm planning to swap the old battery with a new one... Anyway are you having the same hour with Linux or less? Are you using tld or any other power management tool?
