One thing you could consider doing if you are serious about the project is replacing the standard debian testing kernel with the proper kernel.
Debian guts all non-free packages, and binary drivers from the kernel. This greatly improves hardware support.
- mntmn 12y agoThank you, I will look into that. My only hardware concern is the internal microphone, though, everything else works. Even the keyboard backlight, suspend etc. I have much less trouble than I expected ;) [Edit: I am serious about this project. I'm running Debian full time now since more than a week and consider giving up iOS development, the only thing that can be done only on OS X]

- wooger 12y agoA question: Do you have your apt sources pointed at 'testing' or at 'jessie'. If the former, you may find stability takes a big hit after jessie becomes stable and all the new packages from unstable get pushed down. If the latter, you should be good.
