    a simple install of the good old LMDE, everything worked FLAWLESSLY out of the box. It runs even smoother than vanilla Debian

      Did you have to do any special configuration, or was it a seamless installation just like a non-mac laptop?

            I use an upgraded 2012 MacBook Pro with Fedora and it’s very easy to install.

            You still have a few caveats if you wanna use some specific software like Ventoy or Clonezilla. Otherwise it’s really easy.

            As another user pointed out, the ones with Intel chips work well ie older models (idk the details as I don’t use Apple products)

      I’ve been going with Spiral Linux lately when I need a VM for something (works really well in a VM), but I might have to give LMDE a try!

        it you are looking for an OS that just runs, doesn’t receive tons of updates and stay stable as a rock… LMDE will make you fall in love
