I would avoid Ubuntu and Fedora because of their corporate shenanigans. I’ve had a very painless experience with Pop!_OS as my daily driver and there’s a version that comes with Nvidia support already baked in. Otherwise, I would recommend Mint D which is the version that ditched Ubuntu for pure Debían (what Ubuntu is a fork of).

I run Pop!_OS on an Early 2015 MBP 13. It’s pretty much flawless. The only thing that doesn’t work is the webcam, which is a bonus for my ugly mug.

Black people on the 1920’s had to deal with “the klan” as sporadic and fairly localized pockets of violent racists that wanted them to “know their place”. Trans people have to deal with a nationwide, organized, and enabled group of people that want them to not exist, as well as a significant number of politicians who are legislating to ensure they do indeed cease to exist. Also, anyone that thinks that trans people do not and have not dealt with violence is a dip shit.
