I changed the Category to General Help because it is a specific Help Request and not common Talking.

You have these Logs. But does Your System has any Problems or does it run? If You have Problems, please describe them.

This is a key question, Bacana. Most of those notifications are benign or supplementary warnings.
I do not see anything critical in any - though some can have user experienced issues, but are only relevant if you are having issues.

Hi Aravisian,
Every now and then I experience visual lag as soon as I log in to my Mac. I can't tell you if it's due to these errors or what. The video card driver isn't at its best. On certain sites and even here in the system, I've noticed that the colors aren't natural and saturated. But if there are these warnings, something's definitely wrong. Another thing I've noticed is the volume; it's inaccurate. When I lower the volume, it doesn't start responsively. The audio is audible, but to hear it properly, I have to increase the volume from 60% to 70%. I think there's something to fix in the audio drivers, or in Pipewire, because in version 17 of Zorin it was like this using Pipewire. It also happens in version 18. Let's forget about pulseaudio, I had problems with that multimedia package. Otherwise, I think it's fine.

This can be caused by these errors:

This is the Broadcom proprietary hardware and driver and if it stutters, it can create pauses with kernel operation. If this is happening enough, graphics relay can also be delayed.

sudo modprobe -r wl

sudo modprobe brcmsmac

If that *does not work, you can revert with:

sudo modprobe -r brcmsmac

sudo modprobe wl

Can you try

sudo pam-auth-update

And check that Gnome Keyrings is enabled in Settings.

From another thread, you posted your graphics:
VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Haswell-ULT Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) and for what you wrote here, it says: atomic mode settings. card1 (i915)

Hopefully, you are not trying to run that on Wayland.
I would disable Panel Self Refresh on that with the grub parameter i915.enable_psr=0 (Do Not Use nomodeset)

I believe later Mesa releases have regressions that can affect Haswell, so using SNA acceleration is necessary:
In /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf

Section "Device"
    Identifier "Intel Graphics"
    Driver "intel"
    Option "AccelMethod" "sna"
EndSection

This is not unusual when multiple audio management programs are in place. I often must point out to Choose One - to not mix Alsa, Pulseaudio and Pipewire all on one system.
They fight like chickens.

This is not your fault. Many distros just include all, hoping for the best, including Ubuntu.
The latest Pipewire is great on new systems but on an older Mac, probably shows its fangs.
Test:

systemctl --user stop pipewire pipewire-pulse

systemctl --user start pulseaudio

GnuLinux is a beast.
But much of what you are experiencing shows the outer limits - a Proprietary Notebook intended for exclusive Apple use; age of the Notebook; in addition to changes and regressions in later kernel releases.
Saving the older machine from the landfill is a good choice. But comes with extra work...

i use wayland!

what are these parameters for xorg?

Wayland is not stable for older books. The entire push is for "modern" and older chipsets are the red-headed stepchild in Wayland's universe.
This portion is complete and will work on X11

This portion, however, is X11 only:

Leave it like this, use xorg and disable certain elements, to ensure that you don't see random lag, I don't know. I'll wait for some improvements from Zorin. For audio, pipewire, apart from the volume, works better, pulseaudio gave me certain errors. Anyway, thanks for the support.
