Linux Distro for Running on a Macbook for Work
(lemmy.world)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Mint ran fine in my 2015 MacBook pro and I'm running Linux Mint Debian Edition on my Mac Mini 2014.
It does use X11 not Wayland but everything worked fine, except the webcam and possibly the SD card reader, which is normal on Mac's running anything other than macos
If you think you'll be doing zoom calls etc, leave it running macos and just run Linux in a VM.
