As another user pointed out, the ones with Intel chips work well ie older models (idk the details as I don’t use Apple products)

I know she doesn’t have the “M” chip, so I’d guess it’s an Intel

I use an upgraded 2012 MacBook Pro with Fedora and it’s very easy to install.

You still have a few caveats if you wanna use some specific software like Ventoy or Clonezilla. Otherwise it’s really easy.

Linux

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.
