Does linux support the hardware well, with regard to tricky-yet-important things like the trackpad, external displays, and power management?
I'd much rather run linux on my iPhone, but we're lacking the ecosystem of apps, let alone the mobile development library. I'm hugely biased, but I'd love to have better React Native support on linux for this very reason.
- newman8r 9y agoI have had no issues with my hardware - although it does take a little bit of extra time to get things working (i.e. nonfree firmware required for the wifi).
- scribu 9y agoI used to run Ubuntu on a Macbook Air. The battery lasted significantly longer when I switched back to OSX.
- plasticchris 9y agoIt is possible but requires a lot of manual tuning. It's somewhat surprising how badly it is supported, for example the backlight needs an out of tree module.
