All of this made me consider what life would be like if I made the Linux switch. The final straw for me was learning that the new Macbook "Pro" would have the hard drive AND RAM soldered to the motherboard! Replacing mechanical parts or upgrading RAM should not require a new machine or a trip to the "Genius Bar." Further, I heard rumors that the new machines were so obsessed with being thin that they do a terrible job cooling i9 processors, causing them to throttle down to i7 speeds. Apple seems to have forgotten developers, making progressively worse changes for us. In fact, it's so difficult and temperamental that I decided to log everything here just in case I need to do it all again!īefore diving into technical notes, lets reflect a bit. Getting everything working just right has not been easy. The goal was to dual boot Windows 10 and Ubuntu 18.10 but it turned out that 18.10 (cosmic cuttlefish) was a little too cutting edge so I had to downshift to the LTS release (18.04.1 bionic beaver). From the i9 processor to the GTX 1080 graphics card, it's a total babe that's more powerful yet cheaper than my ex. Going steady with MBPs for over 10 years meant I had to carefully weigh my decision to leave but I hope that ultimately means I'm never going back! After starting a new job, I decided to finally pull the trigger on my break up with Macbook Pros.
