Zygmunt KrynickiI put #Ubuntu 26.04 on a 2019 #MacPro (7,1) with a 32GB HBM2 Vega II GPU. It's surprisingly AWESOME for both gaming (current-gen AAA GOG games through Heroic Launcher run very very well) AND quite awesome at local AI. #Qwen35 getting nearly 80 tokens per second was really unexpected for this nearly obsolete box. All in all, silent and pretty good. Definitely runs better than MacOS.
Cheeksyyy@zygoon Thats awesome. Waiting for them to dial in linux support for the m1 and m2!
@Cheeksyyy I tried M2 Max macbook and it was pretty good. Here the magic was that I used stock Ubuntu ISO and then only loaded a few services from a T2 Linux archive (mainly for fan control). Bluetooth did NOT work and AFAIK nobody figured out how to do it on that particular mac pro yet.
