That would be a bummer since it’s kind of a crucial requirement for a laptop. I guess there’s always buying a cheap one like an older ThinkPad.
I just wanted some place to run FreeBSD when my file server is down, so I can access my UFS formatted backup. Maybe I should be looking into a way to read UFS from a Mac? Or even switching the format of my backup?
I installed FreeBSD (10.4-RELEASE, 11.2-RELEASE) on a 2012 Non-retina Macbook Pro, and it didn't support the wireless card (BCM4331)
Is this simply an issue with no driver support, or is this some sort of result of how locked down their devices are? If one were to develop drivers for the chipset; would it be feasible to use it?
Other than the Thinkpad lineup, I do like the keyboard layout and feel of the 2nd and 3rd Gen MacBook Pro. It'd be nice to turn my MacBook into a BeastieBook.
(corny.. i know. Don't judge me)
