Dwalin,

~~I have a 2013 MacBook running Ubuntu. I would recommend Kubuntu because idk which wifi chip your MacBook has but it probably won’t play nice with Linux (which is apple drivers fault). And there is a great guide on how to fix it for Ubuntu

GUIDE~~

digitalturtle,

Actually Broadcoms fault not Apple. Pretty much every Ubuntu flavor I have used has the driver on the ISO and installs without issue.

Dwalin,

True, it’s Broadcom’s fault. From which ISO? I only have one Mac so I’ve only been able to install there. It worked out of the box but it always randomly froze after two hours of use until I found it was the Broadcom Wifi

Guenther_Amanita,

I would use something Fedora-based. It’s just a personal choice from myself, since it’s reliable and very up to date. By using a modern distro, you increase the chance your hardware will perform better.

Workstation: uses Gnome, which can utilize the great trackpad
KDE spin: as you wanted KDE
Atomic (preferably uBlue, but Silverblue or Kionite would be great too): my favourite, maybe you could test too. You can install the KDE version first, and if you dislike it, you can rebase easily to the Gnome or whatever version without reinstalling

What maybe won’t work is the WiFi and some keyboard things from what I’ve heart, but you can test it for yourself

FQQD,

Not sure if you can jusf run anything on a macbook, but maybe Feren os is worth a try
