I grabbed my old 2015 Macbook Pro (11,0)
I installed Fedora, after Kubuntu missed the mark (refused to install via Ventoy/EFI/grub2-mode)
I somehow crawled my way through KDE's menus to find display zoom and color inversion
Okay - so far, so good. A little annoying... but, workable.
Alright, let's try WiFi...
[ 5.493097] b43-phy0: Broadcom 4360 WLAN found (core revision 42)
[ 5.493397] b43-phy0 ERROR: FOUND UNSUPPORTED PHY (Analog 12, Type 11 (AC), Revision 1)
[ 5.493409] b43 bcma0:1: probe with driver b43 failed with error -95
[ 5.493440] Broadcom 43xx driver loaded [ Features: PNLS ]
Alright, let's install the non-free repo and try again!
...spinning circle, intensified...
Seriously? Linux? You had /one job/ xD Revive this old af macbook! xD Shoddy, but it even has a Wayland session - probably on the iGPU rather than dGPU (this model has that).
Jeebus. x.x So much for the Linux Desktop, lol. Trying Ubuntu - without KDE - next. Sorry but this menu hell broke me.
