Has any1heard of them?

What's your opinion?

For grins and giggles, I wanted to try Rocky Linux 10 on there, since I had the ISO images for the GNOME and KDE Plasma workstation installers, but the MacBook crashed hard and required a forceful power off.

I didn't have time to troubleshoot that, since I did that during my lunch break.

Since I had trouble booting a Debian 13 ISO on my 2019 MacBook Pro laptop while trying out t2linux on it, I decided to try imaging a USB drive with the same ISO.

I was able to boot into the installer by selecting the second of three "EFI Boot" options that appeared next to the regular boot option.

Trying the first one for the USB drive would cause the MacBook to into Recovery mode, say that it needed a software update to proceed to boot, but does the same thing over and over again.

Using a USB hub with wired Ethernet and an external keyboard/trackpad, I was able to get through the install and rebooted the laptop. I logged into GNOME, installed the firmware package, then installed the t2linux packages. On reboot, Debian would boot up but then hang with a black screen trying to bring up the graphical interface.

t2Linux is SWEET. Ubuntu (and other) distros pre-packaged with all the crap needed on an Intel Macbook Pro. The keyboard, BT, WiFi, Touch Bar, Audio, everything - working right out of the box !! #mac #apple #macbook #linux #ubuntu #t2linux

I've documented my experience of installing and running Fedora 43 on a pair of Intel-based MacBook laptops with the Apple T2 security chip.

I'm starting to put into words my experiences with installing and using Fedora 43 + t2linux on a 2018 MacBook Air and a 2019 MacBook Pro, both with Apple's lovely T2 security chip.

It'll probably be a day or so before I'll be ready to publish it.

Thankfully, I took quite a few notes of my steps, took various screenshots and some of the troubleshooting steps I attempted to get some things to work.

I think this is the first time where the Touch Bar actually came up when running Linux directly on any of my Intel MacBook Pro laptops. 🙌🏼

First attempt at installing Fedora 43 then the t2linux kernel and packages didn't do the trick. This is my second attempt after trying to see if Debian would work (answer: nope).

Now, I hope installing updates does break it.

Now that everything is working fine with Fedora 43 + t2linux on my 2018 MacBook Air, I'm now turning my attention to my 2019 16-inch MacBook Pro 😈

I gotta say, after getting Fedora 43 + t2linux up and running on a 2018 MacBook Air (which I snagged from my mom after she got a new laptop), I kind of like having it as a laptop at my chair compared to the hot and heavy behemoth that is my Framework Laptop 16 (also running Fedora 43).

Sure, the 2018 MBA is a bit sluggish and, like the MacBook Neo, limited with its 8 GB of RAM, but it's still more than good enough to watch videos on YouTube and Nebula, do a little bit of coding, note taking and maybe even editing some audio with Audacity.

I've used a 2016 MacBook Pro with a butterfly keyboard for some time, so I'm kind of used to the keyboard on this MBA.

Finally it's there! I'll be having a look at this later today.
