I recently (successfully!) installed Zorin OS 17 on a 2020 Macbook Pro with the Intel chip. The only problem I encountered that I cannot overcome presently is if I close the lid and reopen it, the screen shows up, but the keyboard/trackpad stop working after about 2 seconds. I am relatively inexperienced, I bounced around a few distros, and can put commands in the terminal without too much fear, but could use a guiding hand.

I am afraid that sleep is unlikely to work reliably on a recent Macbook Pro with Linux. This is because of all the proprietary components. I found other reports so you are not the only one with this issue:

Since you have a T2 security chip, this website seems to be a good ressource: t2linux.org
On my MacBook pro Mid 2017, sleep never worked because of the proprietary Apple's NVMe controller. So I disabled sleep and replaced it with a custom script to save energy: [How To] Reduce energy consumption when closing lid for laptops having issues with suspend
