KDE and Gnome key rings installed on Arch, the whole thing seemed like a backdoor tool. Ran to Cinnamon and faced the same thing. I found Android phone connecting tools, Token generators and all sorts of weird installations for just a minimal XFCE environment. As opposed to just being assigned an IP like on your iPhone or Samsung. In fact, most of the distros I ran away from actually had that in common with an older (stable) kernel as they said, but the truth is it is older because there will be vulnerabilities. Developers were rude to me when I raised an issue with the Network Manager broadcasting the IP. Manjaro introduced me to timeshift, which is an incredible tool in today's Linux environment. I prefer to use DKMS in conjunction with the broadcom-wl-dkms driver, as it will be rebuilt every time a kernel update is applied.One Design LLC's Experience Manjaro introduced me to Arch and I most give them kudos for actually taking the initiative and bringing a simple install process, however I feel they can do much more.

broadcom-wl and broadcom-wl-dkms use the propriety Broadcom driver and are loaded as wl by the kernel, if installed and loaded. b43-firmware is the reverse-engineered driver. This Macbook ships with a Broadcom BCM4331 WiFi card.Īs noted in the ArchWiki, there are two options for the driver.

Poweroff discrete GPU for better battery life with vgaswitcheroo.

Switch between Nvidia card and integrated GPU (requires reboot).

These are also applicable to the Macbook Pro 10,2, the 13-inch model without the discrete graphics. This focuses on post-installation tweaks you can make on Arch Linux for this particular model.

This is a continuation of my previous post on Arch Linux on the Macbook Pro 10,1.
