Literally Fedora
They even implemented recently fedoraproject.org
Before F27, it was a hell of a trip. On any distro. See e.g.

debian
core 2 duo at best, right? if it's PPC you're fucked
Lucas Morris
Thanks
Do compiled things work? I've used linux for a while so i was thinking of source mage to really throw myself in the deep end but this thing may be unsupported?
Christian Gutierrez
i've seen someone claim that it was alright compiling stuff on it. dunno how much they compiled, though.
Joshua Cook
I want this spurdo loli and I want her now! I need someone to cuddle! I am desperate!
And why pay premium for a Mac and then use Linux on it?
Justin Nelson
>systemd
Michael Hernandez
fuck off already
Christian Rodriguez
Why?
I think I may go fedora if I can't get confirmation in some source mage

100% backdoored

Nathaniel Bailey
I've done it, ask me anything.

Oh, does this actually work on Macbook '08? I'm actually kinda interested in this but don't hear a lot about it and assumed there wasnt a lot for it
What hoops did you need to jump through or was it plug and play
Sebastian Butler
There're a few hoops, but nothing major.
lists.gnu.org
>shrink osx partition and create a new one for guixsd
>install refind so you can boot to the usb
>write guixsd install image to usb flash drive
>boot to the usb flash drive and install guixsd
>edit refind config (only major hoop and the link above isn't 100% correct on how to do this)
>reboot and select guixsd in refind
I suggest leaving the OSX partition just incase you fuck up - If all goes well you can remove it after.
Give me a minute to figure out how I ended up having to do the rEFInd menu.
Gavin James
rEFInd entry should look like:
menuentry "GuixSD" {
icon /EFI/refind/icons/os_linux.png
volume
loader /var/guix/profiles/system/kernel/bzImage
initrd /var/guix/profiles/system/initrd
options "--root=/dev/sd --system=/var/guix/profiles/system --load=/var/guix/profiles/system/boot"
}
PARTUUID can be found with blkid.

Juan Stewart
lubuntu
Jacob Peterson
literally the steps you have to take if you want to install any gnu distro on a macbook
nothing impossible or bizarre about that at all
Cooper Lopez
Thanks. I'm not sure what state the OSX install will be in but I appreciate it
Cooper Sanders
Fedora is the go-to distro for most enthusiasts/professionals that run Linux on personal computers at home. It's basically RHEL with comfyness and a variety of shiny buttons added.
It also happens to be the most optimized Linux distribution when it comes to Macbooks, specifically. For some reason, all the other ones like- Debian, Ubuntu, etc, never perform quite right, or have some kind of bug that holds it back.
also, protip:
go and download Parallels if you want the snappiest & minimalistic VM software with a lot of neat features & integration.
Oliver Carter
Is there anyway to make a macbook free? Can you libreboot or equivalent
Elijah Clark
Some of the old black and white plastic Macbooks were indeed librebootable.
Outside of that and just like most anything else, they'll happily take any FSF approved distro, it's just that the onboad wifi won't work.
Kayden Jackson
why not just do centos? way more comfy than fedora
Benjamin Sanchez
Install Windows 10
Ethan Ramirez
seriously user, why do I have to do this for you?
libreboot.org
Andrew Young
not op but in a similar situation
would a bsd be any easier to install? like getting openbsd working on a macbook, is that easier than a linux?
Tyler Garcia
hellllll no
Jace Robinson
oh. i just thought since osx was from bsd it'd be in the family
Jace Campbell
>apple
Carson Jones
Does CentOS even have that same support for Mac?
Jeremiah Morales
>more comfy
if you like the slack/debian life, maybe
it should have pretty much the same support of the Fedora version it has been forked from. e.g. CentOS 7 is based on RH7 which is forked from Fedora 19.
