Hi all,
I recently got a brand new MacBook Pro, replacing one that is over 5.5 years old. I'm trying to think of something to do with the old laptop, and one idea I had was to put CentOS on it. After some initial struggles, I finally found this page, which tells how to tell the installer to find hfsplus-utils:
https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=7327
Then I got to the point of configuring wifi, and of course being a MBP, it has a proprietary Broadcom interface. I followed the instructions on the wiki (https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/Wireless/Broadcom), but had some trouble with it coming back up after a sleep. That plus some other issues (it ran hot just running a browser, for example) are making me question whether this is a good idea.
Does anyone else run a CentOS (not necessarily 7) on Apple hardware, particularly laptops (and not in a VM)? If so, any pointers on making life easier? TBH I don't really know exactly what I want to use it for yet, so suggestions there would be helpful too.
