How well does kubuntu run on the high res macbook?
Can (K)Ubuntu make use of all the hw in the macbook?

Anyone have any personal experience with this?


I like setting fonts tiny to maxize the quantity of test on screen.  I
use closeup reading glasses to see tiny fonts clearly .

 We wanted a screen as vivid as your imagination. A screen where
 everything you see is vibrant, detailed, and sharp. With the 15-inch
 MacBook Pro with Retina display, we created the world’s
 highest-resolution notebook display. The only thing that even comes
 close? The supercompact 13-inch model. They’re two of a kind. And in a
 class all their own. 



 Multimillion-pixel view.

When you pack so many pixels into a display — over 4 million on the
13-inch model and over 5 million on the 15-inch model — the results are
positively stunning. The pixel density is so high, your eyes can’t
discern individual pixels. Images take on a new level of realism. Text
is pin sharp. A spectacular 2560-by-1600 resolution on the 13-inch
MacBook Pro and an equally impressive 2880-by-1800 resolution on the
15-inch MacBook Pro let you see more of your high-resolution images with
pixel-for-pixel accuracy.

More color and contrast. Less glare.

The Retina display reduces glare up to 75 percent while maintaining
incredible color and quality. In fact, it has a 29 percent higher
contrast ratio than a standard MacBook Pro display. Blacks are blacker.
Whites are whiter. And everything in between is rich and vibrant. IPS
technology gives you a wide, 178-degree view of everything on the
screen, so you’ll see the difference at practically any angle. And
you’re going to love what you see.
