> I've been running Linux on Macbook Pro's for years > I haven't done it on the new M laptops From these two comments, I am guessing you are running on pre-touchbar (2016) Macbook Pro's, because the touchbar models before the M1/M2 were absolutely horrendous for running Linux. You can see a table of features that do or do not work still on those models[0], notably wifi -- perhaps the most critical feature for a laptop to be useful as a mobile device. The pre-2016/pre-touchbar Macs are such nice pieces of hardware despite their age, but it gets me wondering why not invest in another hardware platform that supports Linux well, is modern but has high quality hardware? Some examples I can think of are the XPS and the Thinkpad Carbon. [0] https://github.com/Dunedan/mbp-2016-linux https://github.com/Dunedan/mbp-2016-linux
