This is a very odd comment to me.

What would make you think a general operating system wouldn't work well on it?

I remember horror stories on HN that the newer touchpads are completely unusuable under Linux.

For both hardware and software reasons.

Apple hardware is not generic hardware you can buy off the shelves. Expecting driver problems is not odd because of that.

When I worked for Canonical, one of my teammates had one - a 15" Retina MBP. He tried, for months, get Linux installed on it. In the end, he used a VM.
