I dual boot Ubuntu 13.04 and OSX on my 13" rMBP. The hi-dpi issue really doesn't bother me at all. (I run the display at 1680x1050 - the only thing that shows up really tiny is the splash screen) The install was easy enough. Setting up refit was pretty easy. The only slightly complicated issue was putting the wifi and other proprietary drivers on a thumb drive because the rMBP doesn't have an ethernet port. My only gripe with this setup is, because I run it about 60% OSX/40% Ubuntu, is that I'm really only happy in Ubuntu when I have a USB mouse plugged in. I haven't figured out how to make ctrl-click equal right click and I'm one of those who likes to two finger scroll inverted (like an iPad), but use the scroll wheel on a mouse in the traditional direction. If anyone has figured out a magic solution to MBP trackpads in Linux, I'd love to hear it.

I'm not sure about the cntl-click. A Google shows a bunch of different options that may work but can't check them out today. But for scrolling you might try the advice here: http://linuxg.net/enable-horizontal-and-natural-scrolling-in-ubuntu-13-04-raring-ringtail/ http://linuxg.net/enable-horizontal-and-natural-scrolling-in... It looks like the GUI shows options for both devices, but the settings are split between trackpad and device. So it may do what you want. I attempted Linux on a Chromebook Pixel and it was miserable, which is why I had shied away from the Retina. :-)
