     @itsfoss I used to run Kubuntu on my old MacBook Pro 2015. It was a great experience. Used it for years until upgrading to M1 MacBook Pro.

     Been using #AsahiLinux on it recently. Been really nice using Linux on desktop again. Marriage between best HW and best SW 🫡.

     Just waiting for external monitor support so I can be maximum productive again 🤓

     @itsfoss I run #archlinux on a 2011 MacBook air. The installation process was quick and easy and I didn't have to manage any weird issue. It's nicely fit to my attend, excepting keyboard mapping. It's remarkable for a 13 years old machine and unsupported by apple for a while.

     @itsfoss used to run Arch on a 2012 Macbook Air, ran flawlessly for the whole time I used it. I don't do heavy work on my laptop, so it worked out perfectly!

     @itsfoss I tried @AsahiLinux a few months back on an MBP M1. It was a really simple install, unfortunately the lack of thunderbolt / DP displays made it a no-go for me at the moment. Love the progress they're making though.

     All my Linux experience has been on Mac's.

     Currently running Linux Mint 22 on a 2015 i7 MacBook Pro 15", 16GB DRAM and Ubuntu 24.01(?) with QEMU/KVM on a 2010 Mac Pro 5,1, 2x Intel Xeon 6 core CPUs with 48GB ECC DRAM.

     No problems.
