I'm absolutely captivated with this screen: yes, few applications don't work well with HiDPI screens (looking at you, Unity), but the experience has been pretty stellar for the most part. System was booting and fully functional after that point.Īlmost everything worked out of the box: wifi, bluetooth, trackpad (with libinput it works particularly great, even has gesture and palm recognition), etc. I generated a "refind_nf" and put it in the /boot directory of my Linux partition, and rEfind started picking up the OS immediately. (refind will automatically pick up linux USB drives after uncommenting two lines in its configuration file) I booted into my Linux install USB and installed the OS without a bootloader like GRUB or LILO into the new partition. Then, I created the partition for Linux (just using one, as the HDD is small) using OS X's disk utility. The installation process was incredibly easy: (brand new laptop, running Linux and OS X on it) I'm currently running Arch on a 11,4 (Mid-2015) MacbookPro, the installation of which I handled last week. I prefer to use DKMS in conjunction with the broadcom-wl-dkms driver, as it will be rebuilt every time a kernel update is applied.A lot of conjecture in this thread, thought I'd weigh in with some of my own experiences: broadcom-wl and broadcom-wl-dkms use the propriety Broadcom driver and are loaded as wl by the kernel, if installed and loaded. b43-firmware is the reverse-engineered driver.
This Macbook ships with a Broadcom BCM4331 WiFi card.Īs noted in the ArchWiki, there are two options for the driver. Poweroff discrete GPU for better battery life with vgaswitcheroo.
Switch between Nvidia card and integrated GPU (requires reboot).These are also applicable to the Macbook Pro 10,2, the 13-inch model without the discrete graphics. This focuses on post-installation tweaks you can make on Arch Linux for this particular model. This is a continuation of my previous post on Arch Linux on the Macbook Pro 10,1.
