I just wanted to see whether it works, and whether it can replace OS X as my daily driver. I did this mainly because of two simple reasons: Perfectionism and Experimentation. There was no complete guide to do this, and so I decided to write this after I finished to set Ubuntu up. ![]() I wanted to run Ubuntu-only on my MacBook, without rEFIt, without the BIOS-legacy mode, and of course without OS X. There are still old pages for previous versions of Ubuntu, but those are obviously outdated and were really unspecific to what was needed to make the system usable. The Wiki page for setting up Ubuntu 14.10 on a Macbook 11,1 just sucks. If you’d like to try an even smoother system with more freedom, which I’m currently running myself, then read my new guide: Arch Linux running on my MacBook. The overall stability is great! I had some crashes, but they were really predictable and even Mac OS X crashes sometimes. This is currently my only problem with it, and everything else runs really smoothly. Yes, Ubuntu’s Unity looks really great ( IMHO), but it has got its problems with Retina displays. ![]() With “perfectly fine” I mean, that the UI has some hiccups. ![]() Let me say this first: It doesn’t run perfectly fine compared to OS X. That’s how it starts, at least according to xkcd.
