MacBookPro8,1 with i5-2435M

It works well, havent tested it much yet. Seems like cpu usage spikes every 30 seconds or so and fans ramp up a bit. Nothing crazy yet.

I think vilkan is not supported on this computer, and opengl is not working for me. Will look into why now.

actually my opengl works. tested just now. however, forcing opengl on otedeck isnt working. I get - DEBUG wgpu_core::instance: Instance::new: failed to create Gl backend: InstanceError { message: "unable to create GLES 3.x context", source: Some(BadMatch) }

linux on macbook is a weird setup. I don't see any issues on the wgpu repo...

Weird setup for a weird guy. I like how solid these old macbooks are, and they are cheap (this one was $40 CAD like new from a school) Linux makes it useable and up to date, software wise.

I dont expect anthing to "just work" on it, but its been pretty decent.

Anyway, I just installed notedeck on my Linux desktop. Works great!
