In today's open source roundup: Which distro is
best to run on a Macbook Pro? Plus: Open source and the user
experience, and five grep tools for Linux
Linux on the
Macbook Pro
Some users love
Apple's hardware and have substituted Linux for OS X on the Macbook
Pro. Amazon even sells used
Macbook Pros for those who want an Apple laptop without
paying top dollar. But which distribution works best on the Macbook
Pro?
Hackint0sh96 asked about Linux and Macbook Pros on Reddit:
"I have Linux Mint 17.1 on my 15" rMBP with a
GT 750M. It's alright on here but the experience is better than a
normal PC (e.g. battery life, HiDPI support, mousepad, it heats up
faster than it would on OS X which I suspect to be because it uses
the dedicated GPU). From what I can find, Mint is the best option
when it comes to MBP due to the support for the HiDPI display. What
is the best option you have found?"
