I kinda wish I hadn’t sold my 2015 MBP Pro when I got my M2 Air. I wasn’t messing about with Linux then, but with hindsight it would have been an excellent machine. I had it running Ventura (I think it was) via OCLP, which was great, but the fans were basically constant. Turns out that it was likely just macOS/OCLP.
Currently running Kubuntu off a thumb drive plugged into my 2011 MBP and I honestly don’t think I’ve heard the fan on it. Running Ventura on the same machine was like trying to work next to a jet engine.
I have a kink for installing Linux on Macs. The only thing I ever have trouble with is wifi, particularly on my 2011 MacBook Pro.
Oh, and the trackpad gets significantly shitter, but that’s just life.
I installed endeavouros on my 2015 pro and nothing made the WiFi work. Reinstalled macOS.
After a few days I thought screw it, I’ll try other distros. Popos just boots and works out of the box ….
