Some the hardware on modern Macbooks is simply not supported by Linux. The majority of this installation information can be found on the Arch Wiki installation guide, however there are some specific considerations that need to be made for both dual booting and the MacBook hardware. Luckily, the Arch Wiki is a great resource and there are a plethora of other resources out there. Arch is not known for being the most user-friendly Linux distribution. However, with that added control comes added difficulty. Arch’s built-in package management system pacman is easy to use and the Arch User Repository contains packages for almost anything you could want. In addition, the Arch Wiki is an incredible source of information and one of the best resources on Linux out there. Arch uses a rolling release model, keeping everything updated. It’s ultimately on you to research and understand what packages you are going to need for your system. This gives you an intimate knowledge of what’s on your machine. Every package is explicitly installed by the user. What makes Arch so special?Īrch Linux is an extremely minimal and infinitely customizable operating system that grants the user the ability to completely control every aspect of their build. Why Arch Linux though? There are thousands of Linux distributions out there. Keeping macOS installed is important, as it allows you to still receive firmware updates from Apple. With the extra hard drive space, I decided to dual boot macOS and Arch Linux.

I recently upgraded my early 2015 13-inch MacBook Pro by replacing the 128GB hard drive with a 1TB SSD.
