Is it one of the more recent ones, i.e. one with a T2 chip? If so, T2 Linux might be for you. Got Arch running on a 2019 MacBook Pro this way. The WiFi kernel module causes quite a few issues, so it’s a bit of a pain to install and even after that, WiFi will stop working occasionally, but reloading the kernel module helps if that happens. Definitely far from perfect, but still somewhat usable.
I think it’s also possible and easier to install on older MacBooks without the T2 chip, but not sure since I have no experience with those.
Linux on older Intel Macs is genuinely a 10/10 experience in most cases I’ve run it on. The one hiccup that comes up is needing to add NOMODESET to* your grub entry.
In shocked and appalled that the guy who maintains the free os kernel might be a dirty commie. I use arch btw.
sob
I… I use arch.
i wanna use arch but my daily driver is a macbook pro with intel silicon.
