Does anybody know how much work is required to run Linux on this thing? I read some documents but found them complicated enough that I don't want to deal with on my daily computer. Also there seems to be driver problem related to thermal issues. So I ended up with virtual machines every time considering installing Linux on Mac. Anybody running Linux on Macbooks or Mac Pro? Does it work well?

I think Linus runs linux on a Macbook Air. Techcrunch interview here: http://techcrunch.com/2012/04/19/an-interview-with-millenium-technology-prize-finalist-linus-torvalds/ http://techcrunch.com/2012/04/19/an-interview-with-millenium... *edited to add link

I run Linux on a Macbook Pro (late 2013). It works remarkably well considering this hardware came out a few months ago. The only thing that doesn't work are the Thunderbolt ports (they work for everything except monitors, which crashes the machine after ~10 minutes).
