Other than the recent M1s don't the previous ones run linux? The mbp's made until 2015 sure do.
- binaryblitz 5y agoNo, they run MacOS (or OSX for older versions), a version of Unix. The M1s still run MacOS, just on a different type of processor hardware.
- onceiwasthere 5y agoI figure kreetx is referring to bootcamp'd intel Macs running full Linux.
- kreetx 5y agoYup (Though note that Bootcamp is a macOS app to install Windows only. For linux the process less GUI assisted (but still pretty straight-forward).)
- auslegung 5y agoIf you’re indicating I load a Linux distro on a MacBook, I did ask about that at the Apple store back in 2012 when I got my first MacBook, and the look on the “geniuses” faces were priceless. But otherwise no, I’m not interested because of my first point, namely that I want things to consistently work as expected.
- noahtallen 5y agoLinux support is pretty iffy on the 2015 - 2019 (chiclet keyboard) ones. I tried once, but driver support was the main problem. Things like keyboard/WiFi/trackpad (I forget exactly which) were broken without any straightforward solutions.
