I absolutely adore my ThinkPad X201, if there was any way to purchase a pristine new-in-box X201 I would. However, I recently picked up a 3rd gen x1 carbon and absolutely love it compared to my rMBP '15. Sure, it's not quite as fast and the screen isn't quite as good, but I can run a true tiling window manager (not the garbage that is KWM on OSX) and have a unfettered dev platform.
I run Fedora, I like it more than Ubuntu or Debian and like the fact that I don't have to worry about random underlying features breaking all the time when I update (which wasted a ton of my time when I was using Arch Linux).
- scott_karana 10y agoCan you not run Fedora on a MBP? And if you can/could, how would the comparison still stack up?
- Ar-Curunir 10y agoI'm sure you can run a decent Linux on MBP; I've been running Arch on my MBP for 2.5 yrs now, and it's been great, bar a couple of hiccups. In fact currently it works better than MacOS; MacOS refuses to wake up after shutting the lid.
