      @JaredBusch Any other gotchas or things to be aware of during/after the MBP Korora install?

      I had to go into the settings and enable the 2 finger right click, but that was it.

        As in tap 2 fingers on the trackpad for right click?
        Mine worked out of the box.

            I keep using command + c/v to copy and paste. because muscle memory when the brain knows I am on the laptop.

            I can remap it if I want, just have not yet. Trying to decide.

              Sorry, it was also disabled on mine.
              2 finger tap (not click) = right click, worked out of the box.

              I have to say, I've been on Korora (only for a few hours) - still finding my way around, but, I'm pleasantly surprised.

                I dearly wish that I could swipe between workspaces. Have not even googled that yet though.

                      Go for it 🙂 I've tried a lot of desktops and it just speaks to me the most. I'm on it right now.

                        We need a roll call 🙂 But there are at least five of us suddenly.

                          I've just gotten Ubuntu 16.04.2 installed (dual boot). In Windows 10, I shrunk my C volume to give me about 55 GB of unpartitioned space, then rebooted to run the live USB of Ubuntu.

                          The automatic partitioning is kinda bad, so I will need to fix it to my liking. But that's fine.

                          0_1495325468180_crop.jpg

                          It was as easy as selecting a box that pretty much said "Run Ubuntu along side of Windows", and well, here I am. It automatically installed in the unpartitioned space I made before hand.

                          So far it's working great, though I haven't yet tested everything I want to use. But... I can actually gracefully reboot and shut down my computer now.

                          I'll give it a day or so and I'll start updating my OP and the reserved areas as I originally had hoped.

                              Any significant reasons or features to go to 17 over the LTS?

                                More up to date, more fixes. The bigger question is, any benefit to the LTS over the current? Why hold back when they give even more support to the current than to the LTS? The LTS is fine and if your goal is to avoid updating every six months, it mostly makes sense. But it is a desktop and updating is trivial. Why not get the latest and greatest applications and features?

                                  Similar logic to why we use Fedora over CentOS. More up to date, smaller more incremental updates for a smoother long term transition. But unlike Fedora and CentOS where only CentOS gets full support, LTS gets less support than current Ubuntu rather than more. So the weighting is more strongly to current in the Ubuntu world than it is in the Fedora/RH world and we still opt for Fedora there.

                                    How do you layout your manual partitions?

                                      Yeah all great points. I remember you going into detail about that further back. I guess I chose the LTS version because I was thinking more along the lines how Fedora has v26 in alpha... and I suppose I was thinking Ubuntu 17 was alpha or something, I don't know. I haven't been following Ubuntu versions lately so I gave it literally zero thought when hitting the download button.

                                        @JaredBusch To get wifi working on your MBP, did you use this guide or another one?

                                        I used this & it worked, I was just curious.
