When did Manjaro release an image for x86 MacBooks ?
Ive seen more than a few Linux fans using apple hardware because it’s usually quite sleek, even if its antithetical to a lot of other things linux users tend to like such as repairability.
I also see ThinkPads being used aswell.
I feel like I’m taking crazy pills whenever I see people talking about running any Linux distro on a Mac. Every time I try it’s a bad time with driver support. And yes I used t2linux, most recently with Ubuntu. It came with nonfunctional sleep mode (apparently a problem since Sonoma), a very buggy Bluetooth controller and a very janky feeling cursor movement with the trackpad. Also my mic volume was super low on Zoom calls.
What am I missing?
I might be wrong but - can’t you just normally install another OS on Intel Macbooks?
Yes and no. You need custom deivers for keyboard, backlight, speakers, webcam, touchpad… basically everything that isn’t the CPU and display
