hey guys! i currently use zorin os on one of my laptops and it works pretty well. I plan to buy myself a macbook pro 2012 13 inch i5/i7 in a month or two and hope to run zorin os on it aswell. Howver i'm concerned it might not be a good out of the box experience, i have heard sometimes the mac internet drivers arn't pre-installed in some distros and that you need to attach the pc to ethernet to get the drivers installed. I'm also worried about bad battery performance , because despite my other laptop having tpui installed it still drains quickly despite me closing the lid and not touching it. I think it has something to do with automatic suspend which i have too keep turned off or else my laptop permablack screens despite being on, when left unattended.
There have been other posts on here about screen glitches on old Macs. If you have another device, you could potentially download the drivers from a different device to usb and do it that way. To install any GNU/Linux on a mac you may need to use rEFInd:
