Toot

I tried installing #Linux on an old #MacBook Pro (dual boot), and...let's say it's hard to even get some distros to boot from USB. The one that worked best was KDENeon, but with that I have a weird problem: if I have an active WiFi connection, I get screen flickers like crazy. Turn it off, it stops. I reproduced this by wiping and reinstalling the OS. This has to be a hardware issue right? On MacOS on the same machine it does not do that, though...

Any ideas? I have tried modulating WiFi freq and channels, didn't work. I also tried reinstalling everything, didn't help either.

My machine is an early 2013 MacBook Pro Retina with intel graphics and an i7 2,7 GHz, 16GB RAM.
