    Linus himself uses a macbook, I’m sure the mainline kernel has decent support for somewhat recent hardware

      Yes and no. You need custom deivers for keyboard, backlight, speakers, webcam, touchpad… basically everything that isn’t the CPU and display

    I feel like I’m taking crazy pills whenever I see people talking about running any Linux distro on a Mac. Every time I try it’s a bad time with driver support. And yes I used t2linux, most recently with Ubuntu. It came with nonfunctional sleep mode (apparently a problem since Sonoma), a very buggy Bluetooth controller and a very janky feeling cursor movement with the trackpad. Also my mic volume was super low on Zoom calls.

    What am I missing?

      I had an ok experience with Arch and a 2012 macbook pro back in the day. Wifi and suspend all worked without any tweaking. Moved on to using a ThinkPad after that though.
