Thinking nothing more wonky than mint/pop!/bazzite/elementary. I know there is never “one” perfect one but feeling like trying something new on this machine that’s at least somewhat push button. Since it no longer receive regular updates from Apple I just want to keep this machine available for use when needed.
I’m pretty comfortable on the above ones I mentioned. I’m not a coder/engineer so I tend to lean heavily on flatpaks and such, though if I have to go into the terminal occasionally I can usually poke my way around
Everything worked for me on my dell xps 9700 out of the box except the fingerprint reader
This is for a MBP
I think driver wise Linux is almost all the same as they are all in the kernel
I would recommend giving bazzite a go. But if performance is an issue then mint with xfce might be the sensible choice
Why don’t you type out “MacBook Pro?” I think “MBpro” and “MBP” is probably confusing to people and they might not even know you’re talking about something that isn’t PC/Intel-adjacent.
