Which #Linux distro actually works on a 2015 12" Intel MacBook (no "Pro" or "Air", just MacBook)? So far I've tried:

@linuxmint: Sort-of works, but don't let it go to sleep, because then the keyboard won't work any more on the login screen and your only option is a hard reboot.

@CachyOS: The live "disk" boots but there's no mouse cursor and the keyboad doesn't work.

@archlinux: The live disk is stuck in an endless "SPI transfer timed out".

I’ve decided to #support ZorinOS.

I just upgraded some of my personal computers to Zorin 18 Pro.

Moin 😊
Nachdem ich ja bei KDENeon einen KernelPanicScreen hatte und das Booten vom älteren Kernel ja keine Dauerlösung ist für kommende eventuelle Updates, hab ich mich dazu entschlossen, eine neue mögliche Distro als Daily Driver zu testen. Daher hab ich mit meinem Sohn gestern - erstmal in ner VM zum Testen - CachyOS mit KDEPlasma Desktop installiert. Und - Wooow ist das alles schnell mit CachyOS! Ich bin schon beim Installieren des OS und Downloaden meiner benötigten Programme sowas von begeistert! Beispiel LibreOffice: Während das in KDENeon einfach ne gefühlte Ewigkeit braucht, bis sich das Programm öffnet, geht es bei CachyOS einfach Zack, Zack. Auch Octopi, der Paketmanager der mit dabei ist, ist sehr cool.
Der Einzige Nachteil ist: ich muss neue Befehle fürs Terminal lernen, weil Arch nun mal leider ja nicht Debian/Ubuntu ist. Aber da mein Sohn schon länger Arch nutzt, kann er mich da gut anleiten.
Werde jetzt die nächsten 2 Wochen mal mit dem neuen System bisschen rumspielen, um zu wissen, ob ich das gut finde für den Alltag. Aber bisher finde ich das schon sehr sehr nice! 😊😁
