I have been thinking of going down the Linux route on my 2017 15". But I am unsure if it is even feasible to get it up-and-running with the T2.

With the new ARM processors the discontinuation of support for Intel-based machines is just a question of time even though the hardware is still more than capable.

Its doable, but takes some extra work for the T2. I put arch on my MBPro 2019. Wifi is fine, but video playback and audio are a bit glitchy.

Yeah, I would expect something in that vein. I think the pros outweigh the sluggishness of desktop rearrangement or non-existent updates. Maybe I would finally get into some driver development if it became my main machine.

Thanks a lot! I'll give it a chance once I have some time.
