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 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.
What am I missing?
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.
