I have a similar situation, and agree. I actually keep Linux installed on a separate partition on my 2015 Retina MBP. I shrink the OS X partition as much as possible, and install grub on the EFI system partition, alongside OS X. When in OS X, I use VMWare (with an EFI-based VM) to boot the Linux partition and slowly over time I'm working on getting the thing to run Linux smoothly as a Desktop alternative to OS X. This involves some weirdness. For example I had to recompile my kernel yesterday with some patches just to get suspend/resume working in Linux due to hardware changes introduced circa 11,4. This is an example of the challenges Linux/other free software OSes face which companies like Apple don't on the Desktop -- a tight coupling between OS development and hardware design. It's actually quite remarkable how far Linux has come in spite of this. |
