Re:The new MacBook Pros with T2 chips do indeed kernel panic... by some_account on Sunday August 19, 2018 @04:41AM (#17793311)
I already switched away from Apple to Linux in the last few months, and it's been awakening my passion for computers again.

Best desktop environment for people who want a very good looking desktop is Deepin, and the Manjaro Community Edition with Deepin has been rock stable, very fast and very beautiful for me during the last few months I've been using it. Highly recommended.

You don't need a MacBook anymore for things to just work and be great looking.

For me, the problem is that I need a mac for iOS development (and sketch). I know I can rent an OSX machine in the cloud, but I foresee a lot of frustration going that route (plus high cost).

I currently own a maxed out 2017 15" model. The control and "H" buttons don't work. So I am using an external keyboard.

I could get them replaced, but service will take three weeks (due to high demand) and they have to have the actual laptop the entire time.

Ubuntu Budgie could be just as nice as Deepin, plus it makes sense if you also have Ubuntu on your servers.
