I put Elementary OS on my 2012 MacBook Air. I’m a very experienced Linux user, but in the past I had to fiddle a lot with things, especially on Mac hardware.

It setup Ubuntu 18.04 very well, with wifi, Bluetooth, audio, ethernet, those are not unusual. But also the brightness controls, the keyboard backlighting controls, the trackpad, the volume control keys. Everything and all hardware worked out-of-the-box. I was very pleasantly surprised. Been using it for months now and it works a charm. And yes I made a donation and was very happy to do so.

Kudos!
