The Linux MacBook Pro
So my whole Linux journey started off with my 2017 Razer Blade Stealth, and I made a video a months ago talking all about it. I love it, the Linux experience is great, but I’m a Mac user. Since 2015 that’s when I got my first MacBook, there’s just something about how Apple designs things and how Apple does things that I’m a fan of. The way they make their keyboards, how their keyboards feel, their trackpads, the design of everything. So that got me thinking can I blend my new found love for Linux and my love of Apple hardware into one. Are they gonna mesh well together, are they gonna play nicely together. That was the journey I embarked on.
