Hi all - I’ve never done an install of Linux before but have always hovered around the community. Now that I have a “spare” and old Macbook Pro that is no longer supported by Apple, I am interested in installing Linux on the device. Obviously I am asking a very broad question here, but are there recommendations on what OS to install on Macs? What are some good resources to find installation guides? In general, just looking for guidance as I start this process as I’m very green to the idea. Thanks all.

    I had not looked into that but the MBP I want to install Linux on is truly an extra laptop. I get a laptop refresh every 3 or so years from work and get to keep the old one, so at this point I have 2 former work computers so I want to try out the install for the experience. Otherwise I’d just consider recycling it at this point.
