I’m always looking for affordable Linux machines so I installed Manjaro Linux on 2012 MacBook Pro with eGPU support and was blown away!

Here’s the command to force something to run with the egpu, just put this on the line before the application name:
DRI_PRIME=1

Linux on a 2012 MacBook Pro installation tutorial now available here: https://youtu.be/pEJdkbNCDgA
I’m using Kubuntu in the tutorial but the process is very similar for other distributions.
