Just curious, which Apple Machine are you running Ubuntu on? I have a late-2010 MacBook Air and also have skipped the last two OS X upgrades since they seemed to degrade quality. I'm definitely tempted to run Ubuntu instead but I assume there will be issues, like lower batterie life.
- Ingolfr 14y agoDepends on the model, but yes, the battery life will suffer. Also, you may encounter problems with minor features (color profile, brightness&sound keys, remote, etc.), however you can research all that info beforehand. I am using Ubuntu 11.10 on a 5 yrs. old Macbook Pro and after some tweaking it runs just fine (I use it primarily as a desktop replacement, so battery life is not all that important to me)
- esolyt 14y agoOn the latest Macbook Air, battery life is about the same. Perhaps slightly worse on Linux. Ubuntu seems to perform better than OSX though: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=macosx_108dp1_ubuntu&num=1 http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=macos...
