You can run linux on a mac. In fact older intel used macs are inexpensive and run pretty well with little noise.
ubuntu installs and runs easily. Other versions of linux - it depends.

Even Debian has lost its favorability by having sooo much legacy bloat, bugs, and outdated kernels that wont run Nvidia GPUs(2023) or other recent peripherals.
I'd be much more curious how Fedora or OpenSUSE hold up.
But I think its an experience thing rather than 'years' thing. If you only used Ubuntu for 10 years, you wont know what modern linux is like.
You sound like a Kubunutu expert, not a linux expert.
This is just pointless gatekeeping doubled down on at this point. People can be experts and use Kubuntu. People can be veterans and use Ubuntu. People can be absolute beginners and use Arch or OpenSUSE or literally any other distro. Use of distro is in no way shape or form indicative of experience other than that some are easier to get started with for absolute beginners than others. But that doesn't make them any less good.
It's a personal choice with each options having its own pros and cons. Not some indicator of experience or knowledge.
Its not even gatekeeping in 2024. Linux pros are avoiding debian-family.
Why would you use a buggy, slow, outdated distro when we have fast, modern, and fewer bugs?
This is an ignorance thing, much of the linux community repeats what they did in the past, afraid to change.
You’re not a “Linux pro” (not that that’s a thing in the first place ffs), so your opinion doesn’t matter, as much as you might think it does.
Glad to see pointless rabid fanaticism is still a thing in 2024, even in the Linux community.
Honestly, if you care this much about what distro someone uses, you need to get a life. This is by far the most pointless hill to die on.
I tried Ubuntu on my MBP because I thought its popularity would mean the best chance of things working out of the box. I’m long past having time to spend on getting basic things working.
