It's going to be hard to have good Linux support.
Even current Intel MacBooks are full of glitches and things that don't work due to custom T2 chips. In the future, I expect this to be more of a problem as Apple continues pushing custom chips. This makes a lot of sense for them as they can develop significant advantages by controlling their architecture, like e.g. Commodore did with Amiga.
In contrast, early Intel MacBooks were fantastically open. For example, the MacBook 2,1 is one of the few machines to be able to run Libreboot. The MacBook Air Late 2012 was run by many people as a daily driver, including Linus, as it was a pure Intel machine. Silent and simple, everything was supported.
