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.

I might be wrong but - can't you just normally install another OS on Intel Macbooks?
Yes and no. You need custom deivers for keyboard, backlight, speakers, webcam, touchpad… basically everything that isn’t the CPU and display
Nope. That is just for T2 macs. Anything prior installs like on any PCs
Linux works pretty well on most Macbooks to date. Granted it's probably slower and guaranteed than most modern laptops but those custom drivers are usually working on Linux not too long after launch.
