I've come across a circa 2011 Mac Book Pro. It appears to be in

Has anyone had success installing fedora on one of these? Just curious
before I put money into a power adapter, I'm guessing someone ran the
battery flat (its probably shot anyway) and didn't pursue getting a new
power adapter.
I used an MBP of similar vintage. One issue was the video switch
used to
connect
either integrated or accelerated graphics to the display. The switch
died, and macOS would not work. I was able to get linux running on the
accelerated graphics, but it was not straightforward. I only used it where
AC power was available as the accelerated graphics didn’t allow much
runtime on battery.
