Hackintosh is (almost) dead - Sopuli

Many will tell you that buying Intel-based hardware from Apple is buying obsolete models.

They have great hardware and will always run Linux. I have KDE Neon running on my 2013 MacBook Air, and it runs like a champ. It’s the perfect travel laptop.

Similar boat here with a Mid 2012 MBP. Build quality is amazing, Linux runs great, and the touchpad gestures work really well.

My only complaint is Broadcom’s awful blob WLAN driver, the libre alternative driver is more stable but sadly 1/4 of the speed

you probably already know but the wifi card should be replaceable IIRC
Apple opted to use a proprietary internal ribbon connector for the wlan 😭 there is a reverse engineered third party adapter available but the cost isn’t worth it for me
doh 😭sorry pal :)
