You should be able to run Linux on it too if you really don't get on with OS X, although you will likely sacrifice some of that battery life.
- javipas 13y agoWell, running Linux on the new MacBook Airs is still a little bit difficult, as shown in Phoronix. http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTQ0NTA http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTQ0NTA
- winter_blue 13y ago> You should be able to run Linux Yea, according to Phoronix it's just a matter of installing the wireless driver (at least with Ubuntu). > you will likely sacrifice some of that battery life This is kind of a problem though. When I'm dishing out nearly $1.5k, I don't want to loose out on the biggest advantage of the MacBook Air (the 12+ hour battery life). I guess I could just try and get used to OS X. (It's POSIX-based after all..)
