I spent a non-trivial amount of time trying to get Linux to boot on my [intel] Mac and when discussing with someone who had been dual booting for a long time, almost invariably when they realized I was trying to do so on a ~2 year old macbook pro, they would just go "ah, that's why" as if that explained all the issues I was having. If I didn't already have a windows laptop for work, an M1 mac for work, an intel mac for personal use, and a dedicated gaming desktop, I might buy a system76 just to play around with various distros.

Odd, I recently installed Debian on a "late 2009" 27" iMac without any problems. Everything "just works", no problems with running the latest and greatest of Linux while Apple does not support this thing any more. I did upgrade the Mac-side of the thing to Catalina but that was more as an exercise than anything else given that I hardly ever use MacOS - only to test things in Safari, really.
