I have the problem from time to time that NVMe isn't properly working at boot and I have to restart to get it working. But in KDE I can easily change it via the power management settings. The UX isn't that nice, as there are no dedicated keys for doing it, as the Touch Bar isn't working yet and the integrated ambient light sensor isn't working either yet. Settings the screen brightness works also out of the box with Debian. I did a quick try with 0ad and that runs really smooth with >50fps with the highest graphical details and native screen resolution. I just had to force Xorg to pick the intel driver (with Debian). Hardware accelerated graphics output is also no problem with the integrated intel graphics card on the MacBookPro13,2. It could also be that the displays have a higher resolution as advertised, but as Xorg correctly probes the right resolution I suspect it is a bug. Regarding the screen resolution issue: That appears to be a bug in the EDID data provided by the display. I can not change the resolution of the screen. Recently Ive upgraded to a new MacBook Air (13 inch, early 2015) laptop and luckily enough Im running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.1 on it.
I am trying to use cfdisk but can not see the bottom of the screen.
