I'm looking to jump back into Linux after a hiatus of a couple of years.
What would be a good recommendation for a distro that works the best for my retina MBP within bootcamp particularly in relation to having the nVidia drivers working well.
The last time I used Linux, there was no way to switch GPUs on the MBP so I was stuck using the discrete GPU, is this still the case?
Fedora embraces the free and open source solutions and so don't include any proprietary software, including video drivers. The last time I used Fedora, it took a lot of work get the video drivers working. With the Retina Display/GPU I'm not sure if this a huge hurdle or not.
Ubuntu is nice and it typically installs fairly easily but it tends to lock the OS down, i.e., su and sudo are not enabled - easy enough to fix but I don't like the move in principle. I'll load gnome on and replace Unity, any other thoughts on Ubuntu?
Any other distro that works with with a rMBP?
Another issue that may or may not be a problem is FileVault2, I have it enabled, should I remove it prior to running the Bootcamp assistant?
Any concerns or issues I should be aware with rEFIt and grub? particularly on a rMBP that currently has FV2 running (see above note)
