For comparison, the transition from PPC to Intel started in 2006 and the first MacOS version to require an Intel processor was just 3 years later in 2009[1]. By comparison, the M series transition started in late 2020/early 2021. That said they were still selling Intel based macs up to 2023, but if you were buying an Intel Mac Pro in 2023 you had to know you were buying dead end tech.

For everyone on an Intel MacBook, myself included, running Fedora 44 with t2.linux has been a breeze. About the only things not working are slow suspend/resume and a bit of a hacky workaround to fix the touchbar on resume (if you have one). Other than that, using the t2.Linux Fedora ISO has everything working right out of the box.
