Fedora
It’s been a while since I posted my last update on my current hardware and software setup, and there’s a good reason for that. For years, I’ve been stuck in this odd pendulum, switching between macOS and Linux every few years.
This year followed the same pattern: I daily-drove a MacBook Air for most of it, right up until I got fed up with Tim Apple’s behavior towards the orange-king administration. That was the moment I decided this switch might actually be my last - basically me voting with my money, even though I don’t even live in the US.
So it’s already been a month ago when I got my new 13-inch MacBook Pro w/ Retina
Display. So everyone who knows me could already promise what would happen next:
I’d install Linux on it. For this one I once again chose to use my favorite Linux
distribution Fedora, which is currently available in version 20. Meanwhile I tried
to install Ubuntu but this lead to problems with ACPI, the disk controller and
last but not least the hi-res display featuring a pixel density from 227 ppi.
There are some things to have an eye on during the installation process but
generally most things are working now so that the system is more or less ready
for production usage.
