Anyone know if Ublue Aurora works out of the box with a MacBook like OP has? I've got a 2014 MacBook Pro that I'm probably putting Linux on next year once I no longer need Mac OS.

My gaming laptop, with an Nvidia graphics card, is running Bazzite and I've never had any issues with it (of course, ymmv).

I think, maybe the wifi driver will not work out of box. it Most likely has the same broadcom wifi card. EndeavourOS was the only OS where wifi worked out of box. With the other, I had to either get de b43 firmware files or install the wl driver from broadcom. Wl driver seemed to achieve a more stable condition.

If it has a legacy nvidia, like mine (750m), your best bet is using nouveau driver, which comes out of box, and is mostly wayland compatible (it just worked on kde and gave this glitchfest on hyprland.

If you want dual boot like me, you have to shrink and create the new partition as fat32 in macOS first.

I have never tried immutable yet
