With CentOS 7 I only had one problem, which proved to be a showstopper.
Normally I'm running a highly customized version of KDE on all my CentOS
desktop installations (installation is described in detail on my blog at
https://blog.microlinux.fr/poste-de-travail-centos-7/). On the MacBook
Pro, KDE simply froze at startup. The KDE splash screen would show the
first hard disk icon, then there would be a little chime, and that's it,
freeze.
I've already seen this behavior on other older laptops, and a peek in
/var/log/Xorg.0.log showed me that the card couldn't render the desired
effects (don't remember the exact error message). And this even though I
had installed the proprietary NVidia driver.
The thing would probably have worked with Xfce or MATE, but I had a
strict time limit for that installation. Ubuntu 16.04 worked pretty much
out of the box - and is nice to look at - so I decided to go with that.
Next time I'll give CentOS 7 + custom Xfce a spin.
Cheers,
Niki
