From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Anyone running Fedora on a Macbook (Intel) ? (slrpnk.net)

Hello,

I'm having a hard time running Fedora KDE Plasma on a Macbook pro from 2019,. Even after following online guides, I'm loosing the WiFi again and again with no understanding of what's going on. And the touchbar is getting buggy every time I put the computer to sleep mode and come back on it. Nor to mention the sleep mode not able to awake...making it necessary to reboot.

Any people experiencing the same situation ? And most important, solutions ?

Thank you 🙏🏼

buncha folks are running linux on macbooks, but their experience will be of little use to you as T2 macbooks are hella complicated in that regard.

the wifi going away, unless it's the published fix on t2linux (restart NetworkManager on resume via systemd), is something you need to describe in more detail.

never had/heard issues wrt trackpad, I'd have to look into that.

not waking after sleep promptly is due to softlocks on the CPU; it will wake eventually. if you're not happy with that, there's a short script that shuts all cores off prior to standby and reactivates them on wake; that puts the wake time to a coupla seconds.
