I'm running 4.6 kernel "testing" on a MacBook Air 7,2 as my daily driver. It is rock solid. Wifi, Backlight brightness control and FaceTime camera will not work out of the box, however they can be made to work. Expected to spend a weekend getting it all working. It's not for everyone, but if you want to better understand Linux, running it everyday is a great way to be fully immersed. It's also nice to have a desktop environment (openbox/lxde) that only uses 263MB ram on startup instead of a massive OS full of features I do not need or use. So yea, let's say the machine rarely swaps. This is by no means exhaustive, but some things that I'm running and work well for me: How to setup rEFInd for dual boot http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/ http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/ Wifi driver (using non-free Broadcom-sta driver) https://wiki.debian.org/wl https://wiki.debian.org/wl Backlight driver https://github.com/patjak/mba6x_bl https://github.com/patjak/mba6x_bl FaceTime driver https://github.com/patjak/bcwc_pcie https://github.com/patjak/bcwc_pcie Happy hacking!!
