I did have fair share of trouble with my own apple hardware. My mid-2010 mac mini required me to create a modified ISO with EFI booting disabled, and it took me a while to figure out how to get sound working on the HDMI output; my old macbook pro has kernel panics on startup that I never figured out, and my new macbook had trouble getting wifi set up; and I have yet to configure the trackpad to get it to work the way I want it to. There are a lot of other people that have struggled through issues, though, and so the bbs.archlinux.org forums and the wiki docs are helpful, but I had to do a fair amount of trial and error and figuring stuff out myself to get what I did running.<p>I&#x27;m currently using custom-built desktop systems (which run arch linux like a dream; most everything just worked out of the box) for most of my daily work, though, and my longer-term plan is to sell off my mac hardware and replace it with hardware that runs linux with less fuss.
