In general, slightly older MacBooks are better supported.<p>Some UI issues: out of the box, right mouse clicks are two finger taps, which is OK, but I like the option of also using something like control-tap.<p>I just replaced my wife&#x27;s 6 year old MacBook Air, and I put the latest Ubuntu on it this week. It is a 32 bit machine, so no Linux Google Chrome, and installing a few things like SpiderOak took some extra time to get right, but everything runs well, although slowly since the machine is ancient. Getting a one or two year old MacBook and using Linux should be fine.
