Installing and Using Fedora on Apple MacBooks with T2 Security Chips Over the years, I have built up a small collection of laptops, mostly ones that I've kept around after being replaced by a new laptop. They have been useful when I need to have a fallback laptop or to...

I've documented my experience of installing and running Fedora 43 on a pair of Intel-based MacBook laptops with the Apple T2 security chip.

#Apple #Fedora #Linux #T2Linux

Thankfully, I took quite a few notes of my steps, took various screenshots and some of the troubleshooting steps I attempted to get some things to work.

I'm starting to put into words my experiences with installing and using Fedora 43 + t2linux on a 2018 MacBook Air and a 2019 MacBook Pro, both with Apple's lovely T2 security chip.

It'll probably be a day or so before I'll be ready to publish it.

Now that everything is working fine with Fedora 43 + t2linux on my 2018 MacBook Air, I'm now turning my attention to my 2019 16-inch MacBook Pro 😈

#Fedora #Linux #T2Linux

I've used a 2016 MacBook Pro with a butterfly keyboard for some time, so I'm kind of used to the keyboard on this MBA.

Sure, the 2018 MBA is a bit sluggish and, like the MacBook Neo, limited with its 8 GB of RAM, but it's still more than good enough to watch videos on YouTube and Nebula, do a little bit of coding, note taking and maybe even editing some audio with Audacity.

I gotta say, after getting Fedora 43 + t2linux up and running on a 2018 MacBook Air (which I snagged from my mom after she got a new laptop), I kind of like having it as a laptop at my chair compared to the hot and heavy Framework Laptop 16 also running Fedora 43.
