		2mur on Feb 13, 2012 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Back on Linux (after one year of Apple and OS X) How is the power management of Ubuntu on the Macbook and does close-lid-to-sleep work flawlessly? Those are the two non-starters for me with linux on a laptop. OSX just does an awesome job with both of these.

Works for me on Debian. Battery life is somewhat shorter, but not to the point that it bothers me.

That said, it took a few kernel iterations before every last bit of hardware was fully supported.

Works for me without any hassle whatsoever.
