These should prevent any problems people faced with the Butterfly keyboard, which was so unreliable that Apple had to offer a free repair service for it.
Apple added a new concave keycap structure and a rubber dome underneath for support. Most importantly, the new keyboard, which is essentially the one Apple used before introducing the Butterfly switch, promises to be more reliable. I am certain that there will be improvements on the VBOX side as well as more adapted desktop environments for linux some of which already support these high-res displays.Even the layout is better The 16-inch MacBook Pro has an inverted T arrow key layout so you can find those keys more easily. It is easier to use a lower overall resolution and profit from the much better graphics performance. One needs to adjust fonts and pointer sizes manually and still the aspect is kind of awful. The option with the unscaled retina display output in virtualbox 5.1 works, however it is not very useful with the standard configuration of desktop environments like xfce4. Otherwise, I can confirm that the linux VM performance of the macbook 12 inch retina is comparable to that of a macbook air 13 inch, both with 8GB RAM. However, performance of the VM dramatically suffers in full-screen mode, especially when handling graphics-intense tasks. To get the mac OS retina functionality back, just go to system preferences > display and select any of the options. One can then make the whole thing "clickable" with a shell script command embedded in an apple script application do shell script "/path/to/script/set1440x900.sh" Here are the instructionsĬhanging display resolution on Retina machines while in Command Line Mode Google for the following tutorial "setgetscreenres", it will lead you to a small compilable program that allows command-line access to changing the display resolution (which in OS X 10.11.5 is no longer supported in the system preferences). There are several ways to downsize the screen resolution to 1440x900px (and less for streaming movies on slow internet connections).
I just installed virtualbox on a 12 inch macbook, the only problem I saw is the retina display resolution.
