(Almost) ready to turn my beloved MacBook Air 2013 - which is gathering dust on a shelf - into a #Linux laptop.Only problem: multiple people might have swayed me to pick Arch Linux as the distro. #ArchLinux!!! I know NOTHING but from all the Linux memes I've seen over the years, I've always been intimidated by it.Debating whether to go with it or #Mint or #Ubuntu. Thoughts?Edit / update: it's now a toss-up between Mint and Fedora. I may try Arch on my Raspi4#MySoCalledSudoLife #AskFedi

@_elena @Edent Several of the Linux distros like MX, & probably Fedora or Ubuntu will handle drivers for Mac if you install with ethernet connection during install process. Some installs you have to be sure and use correct checkboxes, some you need to copy drivers from Mac OS before upgrade or get them elsewhere. Usually it is just drivers for Wifi, bluetooth, and sometimes audio because they are proprietary w Mac & some distros strict about default being no proprietary software just FOSS
