I'd love to try out Linux again. Is the rMBP story any better than it was in 2014? Last I heard there were way too many driver problems.
iTerm2 now supports Metal for GPU-based rendering by default (when you aren't on battery). It's now blazingly fast all of the time.

No idea, I've never tried to install it on a MBP. When it comes to Apple hardware, I tend to stick to macOS. It's Unix enough for me and while I prefer something like awesomewm, I'm willing to accept the limitations of the desktop environment and go about my day. Linux desktop in 2018 is incredible though. On my desktop, I'm running an RX 580 on AMD's open source drivers and I can play modern Windows games at >= 60fp…
Btw I'm big fan of your games, like Link to the Past! 16-bit era was best era.

#13Wonder how it compares to https://hyper.is/ -- Hyper isn't directly bound to OpenGL, but it uses Electron, and maybe ends up in a similar place?

#14(compared to Apple's Terminal.app, which I found to be the fastest and least problematic on a Mac)
