- bluecake 6y agoHow is power management? Which distro did you go with?
- dazhbog 6y agoHad alot of issues with power when i last tried Linux on a mac air.. Something with alot of interrupts firing and the linux kernel was using more power as a result. Thinking of wiping macos and putting windows pro only and using wsl or something. If anyone runs linux/win on mac hardware smoothly I want to know more details.

- paulsmal 6y agoDid the same with my macbook pro 2015. But switched to dell xps for more cpu cores. Never had any issues.
- heavyset_go 6y agoCheck out my posts[1] about using Linux on a Mac the way you'd use macOS. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23607850 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23607850
- kinkrtyavimoodh 6y agoI wonder by what year it would be impossible at a hardware level to do that. Apple has already been making MacOS more or more like its phone OSes, raising the walls of the garden. They might soon implement some privacy/security 'think-of-the-children' type 'feature' that makes it basically impossible to install any other OS on your Macbook.
