Anyone here run linux on their macbook succesfully? I tried but couldnt get hardware rendering to work with cinnamon (2015 15" pro). I'm open to any window manager that does hidpi well though.
Vmware fusion actually works pretty damn well but I hate having the extra layer and hearing the fans all the time.
- striking 10y agoI tried it once with suckless' dwm. Obviously dwm doesn't respect HiDPI but after having set the .Xresources file, everything was absolutely great. [1] This will probably only work if you take the time to write your own .xinitrc. I'm really sorry about that, but I haven't had an opportunity to find a better solution. Perhaps someone else can further assist you. 1: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HiDPI#X_Resources https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HiDPI#X_Resources
- moondev 10y agoThanks for the advice, i'll give that a go.
- 75j 10y ago> hardware rendering to work with cinnamon I had this exact same problem with an Asus and a Lenovo while running Cinnamon. Try a different GUI and I think you'll be satisfied. Cinnamon is nice, but it still uses far more resources than most other popular Linux GUIs and doesn't run well on certain systems.
