I ran Fedora on an early-2011 MBP (think there was a slightly different late-2011 model). Fedora worked okay, but it was a kind of crappy computer. The cooling was terrible, so anything you did that used CPU would make it sound like a jet rolling for takeoff, while at the same time throttling the CPUs because apparently all the fan was good for was making noise. A co-worker had the same model but running Mac OS, and it had basically the same behavior. IIRC the only hardware issue was that it used one of the Broadcom wifi chips that had non-redistributable firmware, so I had to use the fwcutter thing to get it working (but then it was fine I think). -- Chris Adams <linux@xxxxxxxxxxx> _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
