Looking to dip my toes into Linux for the first time. I have a 2016 Intel MacBook Pro with pretty solid specs collecting dust right now that I think I’m going to use. Research so far has indicated to me that the two best options for me are likely Mint or Elementary OS. Does anyone have any insight? Also open to other OS’s. I would consider myself decently tech savvy but I am not a programmer or anything. Comfortable dipping into the terminal when the need arises and all that.

I feel like the 2016 intel mbpro is a pretty safe bet. If not then it’s easy enough for me to reload it with mac OS and Time Machine it back
To provide a different experience, I have installed Linux on my late 2011 MacBook pro last week. Everything worked out of the box. If the CPU is Intel the support is there. Wi-fi drivers may require troubleshooting but they’ll work.
