I am making a research before getting a MacBook.
I want to know if I can use GPU (AMD's) in Linux running on a Mac natively.
I really appreciate it if someone could help. Because I will need to use some ML tools that use GPU.

Thiago
I am wondering If we can use a different distro in Laravel Homestead. Right now it is preconfigured to use an Ubuntu Distro. Can we use other distro like fedora, arch etc?
Short Answer: No because it's not a simple matter.
Long Answer: I'm working on it, it's just slow going. In my day job I've always used RHEL or CentOS so I've always wanted a CentOS flavored version of Homestead. That's exactly what I've started building with EnterpriseHomestead and EnterpriseSettler projects. It's not quite ready for a alpha, but it is close (despite I haven't had much time to work on it lately, Homestead and support keeps my OSS time pretty tied up)
If you'd like to help out please jump into the repo and start testing / asking questions. I also have #enterprisehomestead on the Freenode IRC network.
I just bought the new Dell XPS 13 Developer edition which came preinstalled with ubuntu 14.04.
After the initial boot it seemed a bit slow, but then it updated and worked fine, then later the same day seemed to slow down again.
Even running programs like eclipse it seems very laggy on, which is odd. As the specifications should be fine;
16gb Ram
i7-6560U cpu
64-bit
500gb ssd.
I'm not sure what to post to help, so any suggestions would be great.
Thank you!
Check what is using much system load using the command top.
You can also use htop which is easier to read.
For that install it using the following command:
sudo apt-get install htop
Have you tried reinstalling Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS on your computer?
In future, please use the Ask Ubuntu forums for such questions.
I had a similar issue in my lenovo thinkpad with i7 and 16GB. pycharm and android studio was exteremely slow and it was almost not usable for any development. Even it took a while for the terminal to start.
Finally I found a solution for my issue. I needed to disable "speed step" feature in BIOS.

Has anyone got a Mac VM working on OpenStack? It is possible on KVM with a patch so the theory is there http://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~somlo/OSXKVM/ but has anyone done it and how maintainable is it?
I would try virtualbox first. Here is a guide:

Vmware patches from my experience are most compatible but after looking over what is described in the post, I'd say it looks solid. Honestly, even though it should work, expect a different set of issues with KVM compared to native.

I've been following the awesome Yahoo! Hadoop tutorial, which worked great for getting a virtual machine environment set up (Module 3 of the tutorial). But now I'm getting stumped by the HDFS section (Module 2) and think it might be easier if I had a Windows specific tutorial. I tried following this one, but some of the steps weren't quite right. I've been trying to find a good tutorial that will work for me on my Windows 7 machine, but am a bit stuck. Is there a good place to go for this? Hadoop seems to be very geared toward Linux users, and unfortunately I have to use my work laptop, which is Windows 7. Can I make this work or does it really only work for Linux users?
The Hadoop tutorial on the Yahoo Developer Network is outdated and problematic. Half of the steps didn't work for me at all (I was running their image in VMware Player on Windows 7), and the other half were vague. The Java code examples were poorly written and wouldn't compile. At any rate, they are written for the old Hadoop API.
I gave up on that tutorial and instead used the Cloudera Demo VM image. This comes pre-configured with Hadoop, Pig, Hive, HBase, etc. I was in business at once and had no problems compiling and running Hadoop jobs and Pig scripts.
The Cloudera Demo VM downloads on their main support page (https://ccp.cloudera.com/display/SUPPORT/Cloudera's+Hadoop+Demo+VM) are all 64-bit. If you are looking for a 32-bit version like I was, you can get one here: https://downloads.cloudera.com/cloudera-demo-0.3.7.vmwarevm.tar.bz2
This one has a slightly older version of the Cloudera distro (CDH3u0) running on Ubuntu 10.10 with Gnome desktop. I installed Eclipse for compiling my Hadoop jobs, but didn't bother trying to install the Hadoop plugin, which I've heard is problematic. The first time around, I made the mistake of accidentally updating the Cloudera distro to CDH3u3 via the system's Update Manager and this messed up my Hadoop configuration. I didn't know how to reconfigure it properly, so I just started over from the original image.
To get Pig running, you need to first set the JAVA_HOME variable: export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun
Unfortunately, I wasted a ton of time with that old YDN tutorial before a Java developer friend familiar with Hadoop pointed me to the Cloudera distribution.
I was completely new to hadoop and honestly I found the cloudera tutorials and information completely unhelpful. Give the IBM ones a shot, they're super helpful and they are very friendly for beginners. Step by step instructions for pretty much all of the core hadoop applications and a few specific to IBM's distro.
Here's the download link. --

You have to make an account but it's free and doesn't take that long.
I can't post more than one link right now but is pretty easy to find the tutorials online and they also exist within the VM.
Also there's a forum that I've posted my questions on when I get stuck and somebody from IBM has always helped me out within an hour to a day. Cant post the link but if you google "IBM InfoSphere BigInsights Forum", its the first hit.
Good Luck!
I am trying to learn Hadoop right now also and what I did was download virtual box ( http://www.virtualbox.org/ ) and load some linux images on it and started following tutorials.
You can even get a pre-made hadoop setup image from cloudera. I think this approach is far better than installing and setting up on your prime machine because in the event there's a problem you're main machine won't be effected(you can simply revert to an old copy of your virtual linux image or scrape it and start again without any impact).
Good luck!
Developing Hadoop on windows is doable but hard to get right. It requires installing Cygwin and getting all the environment variables right can be tricky.
To get started developing on windows I recommend installing vmware player and run the pre configured virtual machine by Cloudera. This simply means you will be doing the Hadoop development in linux without rebooting or reinstalling your windows system and without the installation troubles assiciated with cygwin.

I've been banging my head against the yahoo tutorial for a long time as well. The Eclipse plugin is no longer maintained and is pretty unreliable. Hopefully the cloudera image will do the the trick.
I have just finished the "Hadoop Fundamentals I - Version 2 " at http://bigdatauniversity.com.
It comes with IBM BigBisunessInsight VMWare images and works very well.
The images include a local mode one and a cluster mode one. It is able to simulate a multiple nodes cluster in my Windows 8 workstation with 8GB RAM.
Hope this information be helpful:-)
