So I just inherited a mid 2014 retina macbook pro, and have had problems getting the wireless working under linux.
Anyone here had any success? I've gone down a number of paths trying to set it up (on several different distro) but can't figure it out. I'm still pretty shit at linux, but only because "it just worked" on all the other computers i've used it on.
>mac
Found your problem.
I know, but I'm trying to make the best of an undesirable situation
Sell it and buy a system 2x better with the cash.
m8, you need to install macOS, formerly known as OS X
pajeet pls go
Macbook and other Mac family laptops are usually use broadcom chipset as a wireless device, and it needs binary blob. I think the page below can help you:
linuxwireless.org
what do you mean having trouble getting it working? what exactly is wrong? do you have the device itself running?
remove linux and use mac osx instead
/thread
Leave Sup Forums and go back to /r/eddit instead.
lol epic bcuz he belongs in reddit right?
omg dude ur so edgy
yep. macs have great resale value.
Honestly why don't you just stick to osx?

>someone posts a macbook
>shitlords pour in to talk shit about apple products
we get it, you're triggered.
this desu senpai
>OS X IS SO BAD GUYS HUE HUE
it's just a generic BSD with a fancy skin
there's nothing wrong with it really
>swapping out real certified UNIX for a shitty clone written by a drunken Finn and his team of Pajeets
OS X is perfectly fine. Linux is blown way out of proportion by shut ins on this board.

Poo in loo Rajeesh.
this. you can give OS X a fair shake or you can be part of the camp that responds to suggestions like these with stuff like and . obviously you shouldn't make your decision on some bandwagon fallacy, but figure on support and assistance being pretty well-represented in this thread. these are linux supporters/advocates.
>someone wants to put linux on his mac
>OMG WTFFFF Y U NO USE OSX?!?!
we get it, you're triggered
now fuck off back to /r/eddit where you belong
those two responses are pretty different. the anti apple zealots are absolutely buttblasted. suggestions to stick with the operating system that ships with the hardware isn't that "triggered" a response.
if you think everything qualifies as triggered, maybe you belong back on tumblr? does "belong" trigger some sense of ownership or something and trigger some micro-aggression about you being a negroid? ah fuck i must've triggered you again, and again with "fuck".
less fun, I already have a functional computer so i'd rather just experiment since I have no other use for the thing
>mactoddler thinks a piece of paper magically turns applel pajeet skiddie spaghetti code into unix code
Yo OP, ima try to help you. Can you give me lspci and lsusb?
this is a brand zealot. note how tightly he packs his "epic memes" into such a short, content-light post.
watch his ensuing tantrum over this post, possibly playing the role of a "disinterested third party" who just wanted to say how un-"dank" it is to call him out or something.
Fresh off the boat, from reddit, kid? heh I remember when I was just like you. Braindead. Lemme give you a tip so you can make it in this cyber sanctuary: never make jokes like that. You got no reputation here, you got no name, you got jackshit here. It's survival of the fittest and you ain't gonna survive long on Sup Forums by saying stupid jokes that your little hugbox cuntsucking reddit friends would upboat. None of that here. You don't upboat. You don't downboat. This ain't reddit, kid. This is Sup Forums. We have REAL intellectual discussion, something I don't think you're all that familiar with. You don't like it, you can hit the bricks on over to imgur, you daily show watching son of a bitch. I hope you don't tho. I hope you stay here and learn our ways. Things are different here, unlike any other place that the light of internet pop culture reaches. You can be anything here. Me ? heh, I'm a judge.. this place.... this place has a lot to offer... heh you'll see, kid . . . that is if you can handle it.
Oh look, it's this guy again.
>Linux on a Mac

Kek yeah literally throwing money away. Let's buy a plastic shit heap that will lose its value after one picosecond instead of keeping the superior iDevice, sad!
>iShit
>superior
Pick one.
Sell it and get the XPS 13, you dumbass.
M4800 or T450 would be better desu senpai.
M4800 yes, get that superfish infested cum stained chinkpad out of here.
>m4800
>last gen
>heavy as shit
>shitty screen options
>appallingly bad battery life
Then get the XPS 13, what the fuck is wrong with you, retard?
>being a manlet
Nigger your doing it wrong

Use the broadcom-wl-dkms driver so it recompiles itself with every kernel upgrade.
>Mfw Lincucks spend days trying to get MacBook-like performance and settle at less than 50%
Consider macOS.
>Mfw maccucks spend years trying to get linux-like performance and settle at less than 0.001%
Consider suicide.
>iSupreme
>superior
Pick two and only two.
fixed!
>iSupreme
Just sell it. Running anything but OS X, unless using Bootcamp, on a Mac is completely retarded.
Sell it m8
>iSupreme
Only mentally challenged people use Linux on a mac when OS X is UNIX based and works 1000x better on it
OS X is FreeBSD based, not UNIX.
BSD is UNIX
>iSupreme
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>ubaggoontuo
>on a mac
o shit
Maybe some, but FreeBSD is not.

I had the same issue with a MacBook running Ubuntu. Just disable, then reenable the wireless driver.
it seem, there is a problem with resolution too
sell it and get a thinkpad or a better laptop
