    Unless you jailbreak, write a bootloader + drivers for all the proprietary hardware, no.

    Oh the joys of combinations of proprietary hardware and software!

    For the last time.
    Even if you did (which is extremely unlikely) especially since apple will have the bootloader locked down extremely tight, GNOME HAS NO TOUCHSCREEN SUPPORT. Get over it. Have fun typing with no virtual keyboard popup.
