There is some support on QT and GTK for retina displays, and once you configure those almost all recent apps will work alright. The retina display on this particular Mac has as resolution of 2560 by 1600 px.
Gladly on Linux, the color profile for the screen was spot on, and I didn't have to do a thing! :) And this is one of those things that you notice and feel awkward if the experience downgrades somehow so I it was one of the things I wanted to try first. The screen is one of my favorite things on the MacBook, and it works wonderfully on OSx.

Of course, this is as good as opinions go.Īfter almost a half year of using it daily for my work and personal routine tasks, I was curious to try Linux on it to see how it performs.
It is fair to say that it is a good working laptop, it doesn't win in every single aspect but its definitively well balanced, a result from Apple's proven formula with an some refreshments here and there. I've been using the MacBook 13'' early 2015 version since August 2015.
