From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I've got a Dell latitude 7390 that came from a refurb place. Was less than $400 australian, another $100 to throw a bigger nvme drive and more RAM in it.
Runs like a champ with zero issues on Fedora.
Got it initially to mess around with some different distros but have been using it almost exclusively instead of my macbook pro.
Which MacBook Pro do you have?
A 2018 13 inch, the first of their quad core i5 offerings in a laptop.
Spec wise it's about the same as the latitude is currently. Of course the screen and general finish are nicer than the dell but for my current laptop use case, having the same OS and tools as my desktop makes up for it.
Ah nice! Tried Linux on the MBP? I just this week took the plunge with my 2016 MacBook 13,3. It was a MISSION to get everything working but I think later models have better support.
