We have a Macbook Air mid 2013 and no matter what distro I tried, making wi-fi work was pain due to Broadcom drivers and not having ethernet port. Basically had to install the drivers via phone tethering.
However, probably because of the drivers, there are certain problems like disconnecting out of blue or really slow connection or cannot reconnect unless reboot the PC.
So I want to ask, if you have this Macbook and have Linux installed, which distro you’re using it with? How is it?
Recently I installed Bazzite on a home computer and printers, Xbox controller, iPhone connection, everything the owners need worked out of the box. I’m wondering, would it also work fine with this Macbook too?
Thanks!
Well, the problem is no distro ever came with this driver pre-installed, at least the ones I have tried, including Ubuntu. I’m used to trade-offs too but this machine will be for someone else so it should work without problems. Later I have found about blacklisting and luckily that worked, and seems to be working fine so far. Since it’s driver related, distro choice won’t matter here. Unless I could have found a one that comes with that driver.
