Hi Charles,
I have a 2015 MacBook Pro running Fedora Workstation 42 natively. It works
like a charm--certainly much better than I have any reason to expect a 10
year old computer to run. The one issue I've run into, which is not
uncommon with Fedora on older laptops, is that I cannot get the webcam to
work. There's probably a way to tinker with the kernel drivers, but I
haven't needed a webcam on it so I haven't really investigated. Every other
peripheral I use works as expected, including bluetooth
mouse/headphones/keyboard. Feel free to reach out off list if you have any
questions.
Best,
Brandon
