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?"
