There is no production-ready Linux distro for recent Macs.

Yes - I made this "discovery" for a three year old Mac I have - it freezes on the first screen of the Ubuntu install :(

Only helps for M1 macs. Intel T2 laptops are in a particularly bad spot when it comes to Linux support and things haven't really gotten better. You still need to add drivers to get the keyboard/trackpad working (AFAIK not supported on all kernels either), you can't have audio AND suspend just one of them, WiFi is a pain. I tried on my 2018 just had freezes every five minutes on the 1/3 of times it would boot correctly.
