After a few minutes of build fans kick off and the laptop is about to start levitating. I thought something wrong with how Linux manages power settings but apparently, it's a design issue of MBP 15" 2018. Noteworthy, the build time on MacOS is the same as on Linux, no performance loss in this place. i7-7700HQ CPU 2.80GHz processor is just slightly faster than my 3 years old i7-4770 2.2GHz when it comes to building jvm applications. Forget about portability, from now on - it's a glossy, expensive, loud and thin desktop computer with a built-in display. The best you can do is to get many USB-hubs and plug external devices in there, at the moment I've got 6 things connected to the computer. ![]() Bluetooth - it works sometimes, needs to repair after each restart. ![]() So what does not work with 4.15.0-1030-oem? Don't try 4.18 & 4.19 - a bug is still there. There are many bug reports, like this, basically, something got broken in the kernel starting from ~ 4.16 or soĪt the moment I'm using kernel 4.15.0-1030-oem - the only one pre-4.17 version I was able to find in the repository. ![]() I mean if you want to play with different kernels, like in 2000 it might be entertaining. TR DR ĭon't waste your time installing Ubuntu on MBP 2018, at least anytime soon ![]() I see zero reasons why would I add additional keystrokes making typing process more like playing the piano to achieve something I don't need. One might be surprised but I heavily use F-keys and not only for the software development. I don't mind that many people are using it and think they're happy and somehow productive but I do take it personally when the operating system or hardware manufacturer significantly disrupt my productive habits and enforces behaviour which slows me down without giving anything back in returnīeing openminded I was trying to use it for a few days, I even promised that won't yell in the office annoying my colleagues(but broke promise after few minutes)Įventually, after 4 days I decided to install the fresh Ubuntu 18.10 instead of this inadequate but nice looking OS and get the classic keyboard with all keys. It's easy to imagine how exciting it was for someone who been using Linux happily for the last 12 years. Unfortunately, I was forced to use MBP at work.
