My (6 year old) macbook pro got bricked and I was daring enough to get the new Macbook Pro retina (MacBookPro11,4).<p>Before installing Arch (assuming I needed the latest kernel for anything to work) I tried installing Xubuntu 16.04, and it amazes me how well it works! After installing refind everything just seemed to work out of the box.<p>The only things that aren&#x27;t working is the webcam and suspend &#x2F; hibernate, but I don&#x27;t really care about those and suspend even seems fixable.<p>For anyone interested, I got the intel graphics drivers installer to run by changing DISTRIB_CODENAME to &quot;wily&quot; in &#x2F;etc&#x2F;lsb-release and changing it back to &quot;xenial&quot; after installation (make a backup: sudo cp &#x2F;etc&#x2F;lsb-release.backup &#x2F;etc&#x2F;lsb-release)
