That depends entirely on what you're doing, what software and hardware you're using.

Any Linux distro on a MacBook (unless it's an old model)? Yeah, lots of hoops.

I am installing Garuda Linux on a MacBook Pro later today. I have never installed Garuda before. I will let you know how it goes. After a good experience installing Manjaro on an iMac, I am expecting it to go well.

Use a properly supported hardware and the amount of hoops to jump through goes down to negligible.
