I installed endeavouros on my 2015 pro and nothing made the WiFi work. Reinstalled macOS.

After a few days I thought screw it, I’ll try other distros. Popos just boots and works out of the box ….

Windows after pressing shutdown and update: you wanted to use me still right???

Be me and get a cheap MacBook Pro 2015 to run Linux Has Broadcom adapter Apparently the worst one 43602 chip Proceeds to install arch anyway Tries 3 drivers, no luck Tries many workarounds, no luck Cries to sleep Runs internet recovery to install macOS, fails

Guys, listen to the wiki and techstack sites. Don’t get broadcom

I would go for the cheaper one and just bring it to the Ns bike repair for a checkup and let a specialist make it very good again. But a 100 bike on marktplaats will indeed net you a very decent and potentially even great bike

As a fellow Dutch, you’re overpaying your secondhand bikes ;)

Fuck, I chuckled at that one. Guess you might be acceptable at certain parties

You must be fun at parties. Hope you don’t frequent ones I’ll go to

Sucks to hear your experience being so terrible. Either I’m so coloured by the hellish experience of booting Linux on a surface (which is easy, but so many small issues after each update) or booting Linux on a mac is really easy.

BUT

I do agree, get something like a system76 for ease of use. I have dabbled with Linux, custom roms and other “hacky” stuff my whole life. I’m so used to it being hard that the experience these days feels as easy as booting windows

Don’t know where you are from, but I got a MacBook Pro 2015 for 150 and it can be forced to the latest macOS or just any distro of your liking. I will say that it can get quite hot and it’s recommended to switch the cooling paste and clean the fan.

For a cheap device it works fine and in this price bracket a better screen is barely possible.

I do have a surface book 2 that I will sell between 150 and 200, but I think Linux support is finicky at best. I ran popos on it, but there are just a bunch of things which would work a lot better on other devices

Guilty. I chose Ubuntu for years due to them using muse as an artist on their mediaplayer

Thanks! Unfortunately not for my device, but hopefully someone else sees this and now is able to use their mouse proper again!

Well then I guess I’m screwed. My work doesn’t allow us to regedit.

Switched to full Linux after buying a steamdeck and seeing how good stuff runs on Linux, but I only miss controls to edit my mouse setup and can luckily live without it

I get these prompts on my work laptop and always go for 1. Nobody who uses your os just for work, want to get bombarded with these kind of requests
