I use wired only so I don’t care.Īs noted there’s a couple of quirks with graphics, which I can probably lay the blame at AMD’s feet.
Thunderbolt port using a MiniDP -> DVI adapter. HDMI port (including digital audio out). Given that one of my monitors is using the Thunderbolt port, I’m pleased that it’s working at all. Once I installed and reboot, I didn’t get much joy from the open-source drivers and so I enabled the proprietary catalyst driver and that’s given me the ability to correctly configure multiple monitors with the correct resolution. Installing with legacy mode leads to serious heat problems also under legacy mode the graphics didn’t work at all and the system would boot to a blank screen with a blinking cursor. To install Ubuntu MATE, I first needed to install reFind, which allows you to install from a USB stick using uEFI instead of grub/legacy mode using a DVD. 
On the OS X side, 4GB isn’t enough and on a fresh boot I was typically left with only 1.5GB of usable RAM that disappeared fast when I opened Mail and Safari with just a couple of tabs. My model is an i5 (2.5Ghz) with discreet AMD Radeon Graphics (6630m), stock 4GB of RAM and stock 500GB 5400 RPM drive.
I’ve managed to get Ubuntu MATE 14.04 running on a 2011 Mac Mini without too much bother!
