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?

    I installed mint. Used USB WiFi adapter, or shared phone as tethered WiFi over USB, can’t remember what one. Opened the drivers app on mint. It asked me to install the proper drivers. Done. No issues since.

      Thanks, that’s good to know. Even though I currently fixed the problem, I’ll keep this in mind.
