Was it harder to install than on a regular PC?

was using arch on a macbook air, only problem I had was with broadcom drivers but it was easy to get around it, air has no ethernet port so I tethered it to my phone.

Main reason I'm asking is because I read an article that said it's more trouble than it's worth to install Linux on a Mac.

Said something about Linux being unable to recognize ANY of the Mac's hardware, kinda sounds like what >>55776125 had going on.

I guess it's too late for me to catch the original LL train now that another generation were shoehorned in

What's the point in buying a Mac if you're not even going to use Mac OS? Just buy a regular PC
>>
>>55776317
No it's not. The music is still great in my opinion, and the show so far beats the crap out of the new generation. Heck, it's the first anime where I like the dub just as much as the sub. Maybe a little more. I'd definitely recommend it.

To run both Mac and Linux

I don't know if you are still here but honestly it wasn't a huge issue, if you want the full functionality of the macbook (multi-touch, webcam, etc) you have to jump a few hoops but if you know how to use google it's not particularly time consuming.

Battery time was a real issue for me but there's a ton of articles explaining how to optimize battery life, mostly just copy/paste scripts.

If you are new to linux maybe it would be a bit difficult but it's definitely possible to have the complete functionality of the laptop while running a linux distro

Alright, thanks. I've been saving up for a Macbook Pro for a while, was just worried that I wouldn't be able to have Mac/Linux in case something in MacOS was too locked down for my tastes. Gonna just go with it and see what happens.

you can always go windows, macs have a pretty neat feature where you can download the whole OS over a network so it's practically impossible to fuck up if you are worried about that.
>>
>>55776317
Original LL is probably still more popular than sunshine at this point since it's still relatively new.
>>
>>55776941
I know, I'm just sick of Windows at this point. They lost me as a customer and will have to do a major overhaul of their system to interest me.
