Anyone had good luck installing #Linux distros on Intel #Mac laptops from circa 2107? I have one that can no longer be updated I rarely use it, but would like to give it a little refresh by installing a modern GNU/Linux on it, but live distros I've run have not had control over volume and other features like Wifi. Any recommendations for distros that work "out of the box" or if not, know some step-by-step instructions? Have seen some installs prompt for drivers, but if I don't have internet...
@cs I occasionally make live slackware ISOs with packages I maintain external to the distro included. I also happen to have an Intel Mac and ship the wifi driver (and the fan controller) on the ISOs. Maybe not your style as it’s using a Wayland window manager but well, wifi works. https://rekt.lngn.net/liveslak/

@jloc0 that’s cool. It may be above my skill level.
@cs well, Ubuntu likely still ships the wifi as working but the things like brightness and such are always going to be additional package installs. As for my iso, it boots graphically and it’s pretty simple, but slackware isn’t for everyone 😅
