Hey man I have an old black macbook, and tbh I'm kinda scared to install Arch on it. But its slow as shit, I just want to hear more from you. Was it difficult? Do you think it was worth it?

Exp0sure

it was totally worth it. i personally hate macs (for lots of reasons). now that it's running *nix it's actually a machine i don't mind using (but some of the keys feel like they're in odd locations for me).
it was no more difficult than installing and configuring arch on any other machine. wifi was the hardest part, since the laptop doen't have an ethernet port and wifi didn't work out of the box. these are *about* the same steps i took to get the base system setup. http://git.io/LDfG1A
