Installing Trisquel on a MacBook Air.

I am planning to install Trisquel on a MacBook Air 2014. I have no problems purchasing a Wi-Fi adapter. Are there any other problems other than the wi-fi when using it on a MacBook Air?
Make sure you cover that Apple logo with a nice GNU sticker :)
Where to buy GNU, FSF stickers??
Here http://shop.fsf.org/
If you can print your own, Koz and I made this sticker specifically for Macbooks: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Adesivo_GNU.svg
Thanks! I will try to print it with my printer, but only when I unlock the counter chip. So, no time right now to reset the counter.
Bought 2 packs of MegaPack stickers, and GNU/Linux inside.
Just a piece of advice, make sure to use a thick vinyl sticker as normal ones will just show the Apple logo shinning through. I have a Copyleft over mine but I needed 4 layers to dull the logo significantly.
Had problems with 2009 air, with GeForce 9400. If it uses Intel gpu, so, the only problem can be to replace proprietary connector/wire to Broadcomm wifi adapter inside.
Ha-ha. Covering that Apple logo with a GNU sticker is first on my list. I will give Trisquel a go. Also, I am an android developer. Has anybody used Android studio and have you faced any problems with using openjdk and not the proprietary oracle jdk?
I haven't, but you might be interested in getting Replicant's SDK instead of Android's: http://www.replicant.us/
I write Android programs quite a bit (school forces us to- apparently mobile
development is the trendy new thing) and have experienced no problems using
OpenJDK as opposed to Oracle. They recommend Oracle, but Open seems to work
fine- except when it comes to things which need to be jarsigned.

Coreboot uses blobs on some systems, I wonder if that's the case here or not. Hence libreboot.
Yes, it needs blobs to initialize. But it's still better than Apple's EFI, both in a technical and freedom perspective (Coreboot's code is generally smaller, which means less attack vectors)
