<p><strong><em>Soon to come</em></strong></p>
<p>Alright - it has been <a href="https://www.nico.schottelius.org//blog/macbook-air-42-archlinux/">a couple of years since I last installed
Linux on a Apple notebook</a>, so it is time again.</p>
<p>I have just ordered the Macbook Pro 2016 (with real keys, because
the purpose of F1-F10 is exactly what Apple tries to reinvent with a
lot of colours) and plan to install Arch Linux on it in the next weeks.</p>
<p>I expect the
<a href="https://www.nico.schottelius.org//blog/macbook-air-42-correcting-multimedia-key-mapping-and-status/">typical early adaptor problems</a> with the Wifi chipset and
maybe trouble with connecting external monitors (not only because it
is Apple, but also because <a href="https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/51508">Intel Skylake support under Linux is pretty
bad at the moment</a>).</p>
<p>So if you are curious about how easy or hard it is - stay tuned and
checkout this site again in a couple of days!</p>
