Again I am sorry if I sound defensive or aggressive, that is not my intent; I just think it is actually not very hard to have a very stable solid Linux install on Apple x86 hardware.

After a cursory search of solutions for the font issue on HiDPI displays (which you would find on similar Lenovo/Dell/HP Laptops) and for the multi touch trackpad issue, results in a number of established solutions?

Trackpad: Tuning macbook trackpad for Linux

Retina Display: HiDPI with Arch Linux

I know these are not perfect solutions, but if you like the quality and build of Apple hardware, and want to be able to run every possible x86 OS in existence (Just for fun); then it’s relatively easy to run Linux on most Apple x86 devices. (The plus side is you can then natively run OS X apps/Windows apps when necessary.)

This at least has been my experience, especially when I compare it to the nightmare of just getting Win10 or Ubuntu to run correctly on a 2013 era Dell Inspiron. Constant “battery can’t be found”=Plugged into the wall, “this USB device cannot be initialized”=trackpad, “the power cable is not recognized.” all of which are recognized correctly in Win7 (with the designed for obsolescence drivers).

The thing is the price of Apple hardware is almost exactly the same as the laptops of similar quality & similarly appointed Lenovo/HP/Dell; but the resale value of Apple hardware is WAY higher in the long run…
(for some reason I decided for myself that this is the most important metric on buying a new computer, so that I can “trade in” my older hardware.)

You can of course get much cheaper Generic PCs/Lenovo/Dell/HP with similar capabilities/specs as Apple Hardware, but these are almost invariably of a cheaper build quality…

(Despite protestation to the contrary we are talking BMW/Audi to Caddy/Lexus comparaisons where most people try to compare BMW/Audi to Chevy/Toyota — same manufacturers different build quality… sure a Camry gets you to the same places and as safely as a Lexus LS but…)
