Re: Running Debian on a MacBookPro12,1

[Patrick Kox <patrick.kox@proximus.be>]

I am running stretch on my macbook air without problems, the only issue is the broadcom driver for the WiFi,  the rest seems to work well (including keyboard light, screen brightness, natural scrolling, but I can't confirm hibernation since I don't use it)

I don't not have a dual-boot system, only Debian since the SSD is only 128GB, and I don't need mac's

Battery life is less than 8 hours, but I use Gnome with full brightness so a less hungry DE might give more time

And Jessie also works on this device.

Hooe this is useful since it's not the exact same hardware.

Hello Guys,

I want to install Debian on my (MacBookPro12,1)  early 2015. I have been reading and In the wiki its reported that “Debian Stretch runs very well on this version of the MacBook Pro.” However its also recommended that macOS is kept on the side for firmware update. The main questions are

1- If somebody already have installed Debian on this device WITHOUT keeping a copy of macOS 

2- If anyone that is running this setup can list what is not working (such as function keys, hibernate, etc..) 

3- How much the battery will last? can we get ~8hrs running Debian?

Basically since Stretch is frozen now, I would love to wipe MacOS and replace it with stretch as soon as its release.

Any  advice is greatly appreciated.
