Disable System Integrity Protection (SIP) Also, amdgpu seems not to be working on 5.6, read more here.ġ. I've tried Manjaro, Ubuntu and Linux Mint and stayed with the latter, it's much more stable in my opinion, but you can pick whatever you want as long as the kernel is 5.0.0 or greater, this is important because some stuff already work out of the box. Some amazing people worked on drivers to make everything work the best way possible, so fear not, they got us covered 💪 This MacBook has a few components that will make things a bit more complicated than usual, that is the Touchbar and the AMD dedicated GPU. It doesn't really matter which version but it's important to keep it installed to make the touchbar and some other stuff work. MacBook Pro 13,3 2016 (with touchbar - no T2 chip).There are a lot of well written guides on GitHub on how to do this (I'll put the links below), so I'm just going to write down the steps I followed in my particular case and the problems I faced. So I though, what the heck, let's install Linux on my MacBook. Unfortunately there are not a lot of choices available for macOS, I found yabai which is great! but as I started to tweak config files to be more comfortable working with my laptop I started to feel that it wasn't enough.Īfter a month or so of using yabai I met i3-wm, and fell in love with it. I'm a software developer and I have A LOT of open windows and programs running at the same time, so I decided to give tiling window managers a shot. It all started a few months ago when I became curious about tiling window managers and how I could increase my day to day productivity. This might also help anyone trying to install Linux on any MacBook without T2 chip (2017 or older). I didn't know what to write about so I just decided to talk about what I'm doing right now, installing Linux on my MacBook Pro 2016 (model 13,3 - dual gpu with touchbar).
