When did Manjaro release an image for x86 MacBooks ?
Linus himself uses a macbook, I’m sure the mainline kernel has decent support for somewhat recent hardware

I might be wrong but - can’t you just normally install another OS on Intel Macbooks?
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.
When did Manjaro release an image for x86 MacBooks ?
a long time ago; i used fedora on my macbook for almost 5 years, until it died
