From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

~~I have a 2013 MacBook running Ubuntu. I would recommend Kubuntu because idk which wifi chip your MacBook has but it probably won't play nice with Linux (which is apple drivers fault). And there is a great guide on how to fix it for Ubuntu
Actually Broadcoms fault not Apple. Pretty much every Ubuntu flavor I have used has the driver on the ISO and installs without issue.
True, it's Broadcom's fault. From which ISO? I only have one Mac so I've only been able to install there. It worked out of the box but it always randomly froze after two hours of use until I found it was the Broadcom Wifi
