I feel like I’m taking crazy pills whenever I see people talking about running any Linux distro on a Mac. Every time I try it’s a bad time with driver support. And yes I used t2linux, most recently with Ubuntu. It came with nonfunctional sleep mode (apparently a problem since Sonoma), a very buggy Bluetooth controller and a very janky feeling cursor movement with the trackpad. Also my mic volume was super low on Zoom calls.
It really does depend on the model. Pre-T2 security chip, running Linux on a Mac was more or less the same as running it anywhere else as long as you had the drivers installed. The T2 definitely complicated things a lot.

What am I missing?
