Mac OS X working

[Wizzard]

It is good to know that our laptop supports also Mac OS X, the latest version Mojave with only a minor problems. So in addition to Windows, Linux, Android and Chrome OS we can also run this Apple operating system in multiboot using GRUB. I used the https://olarila.com/forum/index.php forum where I found the installer and useful tips. So far I can say that the graphics acceleration seem to work, display backlight settings, sound, battery status (partially, I am still playing with it). What does not work yet is the wifi adapter (I use TP-Link T1U nano wifi dongle), touchpad and touch screen, but I use normal wireless mouse with USB dongle and it works fine.

Nice to hear. How is it performance wise? How are the chance of getting the things which are not yet working fixed?

Also can you link the threads of the forum with the relevant information?

Best regards

Well, maybe this, it is a thread that I created, but also other threads, I may help with something.

The performance is fine, I think, because our laptop has the similar specs like Macbook Retina 2017. I think the speed is the same like in Linux, for example.

About the things that does not work, I guess that wifi will never be fixed, because our Intel adapter is not supported, so we need another USB wifi dongle and TP-Link T1U is working fine for me (almost always). Maybe the touchpad and touch screen will be fixed some time, not sure yet.

Have you ever had such problems with your macbook that it didn’t recommend opening this or that app? I haven’t been on a mac for that long, and I used to have windows, classic antivirus and all that. Now I need to get used to the new stuff. I found some info here https://setapp.com/how-to/macos-cannot-verify-this-app-is-free-from-malware , but I’d like your advice. Still I don’t understand what this recommendation means. To open or not to open?
