Well, this is nice but in reality useless. You can run Linux on ancient Apple devices such as 2009 iMac but not really on anything newer.
I want to have modern peripherals and experience such as 4k display, USB-C, reasonably fast wifi/bluetooth. I don't really have a need for CD-ROM, firewire and IR port...
And believe me, I tried to run Linux on 2018/2019 MBP. Apple really really tries to makes that as painful as possible. Most of the things are behind T2 (including keyboard for example) and since there is virtually no documentation you have to rely on reverse engineering efforts of few talented individuals. Also there are things that just plain don't work such as resuming from sleep (the graphics MUX gets all confused and the driver will not re-configure it for some reason) etc... Basically nice for playing around, not good enough for running as a main device.
