[OPEN] macbook pro 2010 installation

[erikdubois]

have you tried other linux distro's to rule out that is just ours but a general problem?

I also have an older MacBook Pro, but a slightly different vintage (MacBookPro 8,2) than yours. Whenever I've had display issues with iso's, guidance from the Arch Wiki have fixed the issue.

Have you taken a look at this page (assuming it's the correct model), under the Video section at the bottom?
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/MacBookPro7,1

Hope that helps.

The wiki is super.
We should send more people to it.
Sometimes you forget it.

Hi Eric,

I think you and your team are doing a FANTASTIC job with ArcoLinux! I'm a recent Linux user, and I've learned a ton from people like yourself (through books, podcasts, wikis, forums, etc.). Many thanks for sharing all your knowledge, especially your videos explaining how things work and suggestions on different packages/programs. I'm currently experimenting with KDE, OpenBox, and bspwm across 3 Arch-based distros (ArcoLinux is one of them). Again, you and the ArcoLinux's team are simply incredible. Please keep on going.

All the best,

[erikdubois]

If you are on other distro's and see something we should have, do not hesitate to give the suggestions.

Hi Eric,

Thank you for being open to suggestions. I will let you know if I have any. One of the things that I like about the ArcoLinux is its learning approach and acknowledgement that you can/should customize things to match one's preferences. It's great to see so many desktop as well.

Problem Solved: I increase the memory from 2GB to 8GB and was able to install arcolinux, thank you.

More memory did the trick...
Great to know
