So i installed Arch Linux on an old MacBook Pro. It works perfectly and i've got to say that the performance is suprisingly good. Writing this blog while watching a series on HBO max caps the processor at 20%. There were some issues with the function buttons but with sxhkd i got them working again, the keyboard lights were fixed with kbdlights and the sound buttons with alsa. I have not yet fixed the brightness button since i personally dont need it. Next step switching over to an SSD and building the kernel myself.
