"For Pop!_OS, right click and multi-finger gestures did work, gnome tweaks were able to edit the right click to be in the bottom right area rather than double click anywhere on the trackpad.

On the official forums for the laptop someone put this together: There seems to be a lot of variance in how it works in different linux distros. Unfortunately the right click isn't working on the trackpad. But that adds up to some learning, and in the end, easy fixes for someone with just a little Linux background.Just installed arch on a frame.work laptop ( frame.work). It took a little spelunking (new environment, git, themes). I *think* it now does everything I need it to do (haven't tried some of the webinar software, but now have more confidence about that). emacs is better than Quilter.Įlementary is an Ubuntu distro that, particularly on an old Mac, feels very Mac-like. VLC is better than the two built in players. But the eOS-X theme is better (visually clearer) than the original. Pantheon is a light, intuitive desktop environment. But note that I'm still not using native apps. So that solves a problem that bothered me. Now, all I have to do is insert the disc, load VLC, choose media (movie or audio), then play. I found the fix for Audio and video playback: After my Chromebook, this is my best laptop, and far more private, customizable, and powerful. On the whole I'm genuinely grateful for the project, and deem it worthy of support. I also found a github link that makes everything look a lot more Mac-like, even with a dark theme. I like the design sensibility, even if it doesn't always live up to it. I want this program to work, but it feels half-finished.Īnd yet, elementary remains so much more responsive than OSX was on this machine. But right now, I can't navigate using it (can't click the header). I can show the document markdown outline. But when I open the side panel, it duplicates files. Writing is my main interest in computers. I guess this bug has been reported too: shutdown often hangs. So elementary custom apps wind up being irrelevant. But the solutions are just complex enough, I move to the web. I get that Google moved the bar on security. I don't know if that's an issue with Mac hardware or what.

* I still haven't been able to play a dvd movie or music CD, not even with VLC. It doesn't look like any other elementary app, but it works now, too. It's a bug related to GTK+ display, I gather, but the online fixes didn't work on the launch button. I downloaded, but it would immediately bomb at launch. I'm happier, and it really doesn't seem any slower. * Epiphany didn't allow me to put bookmarks in folders, or pin tabs. NOT intuitive! But at least it works now. After a sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade, and a reboot, it did work.

Wouldn't update, wouldn't install anything. In my case, it did: sound, backlit keys, etc.įollow-up.

#Arch linux macbook pro right click driver

As it happened, I had an old USB wireless dongle, which allowed me to add the driver later. But Ubuntu-based distros like elementary, and a few others, can install the correct driver easily as an option during installation. Macs, or at least these Macs, use a Broadcomm wireless card, which is not the default for most Linux distros. If possible, plug the Mac into a wired internet connection.Use a program - I recommend BalenaEtcher - to burn the file to a USB drive.

It doesn't matter if you download on a PC, a Mac, or another Linux distro.
