I always run Ubuntu.latest.  15.10 on a 2014 macbook pro at the moment.<p>1. I currently don&#x27;t have a problem with that (the fans&#x2F;temperature management).  In my seven years of running Ubuntu on Macbooks, I&#x27;ve run into that in the past, but it&#x27;s been a while.
2. I&#x27;ve never been a &#x27;full&#x27; OSX user, but I understand that they are doing a lot of very nifty things with the touch pad, not surprisingly.  My experience with the touchpad under Ubuntu is generally not as good as under OSX.
3. Can&#x27;t comment on this one
4. As described elsewhere.<p>For most people, I would not recommend running any Linux flavor on a Macbook.  I am a &#x27;UNIX guy&#x27; for decades now.  Hell, I even run a minimalistic windows manager (<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.6809.org.uk&#x2F;evilwm&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.6809.org.uk&#x2F;evilwm&#x2F;</a>)<p>For me, the upsides outweigh the downsides.  I&#x27;m pretty sure that&#x27;s not the case for most people though.
