With the purpose to keep alive a laptop currently in a well descent state
I have an old MacBook Pro - it is:
So far, it works in peace, it has a HDD of 750GB - in this point is not possible do an upgrade of the macOS itself.
Therefore, my intention is remove the HDD and replace it with a new SSD, and upgrade the RAM too. About the OS an option is install Fedora Workstation and Ubuntu too.
Question:
* Will it be problematic to install and use Fedora Workstation on a MacBook Pro?
It mostly about hardware conflicts - well, the processor is Intel, but just in case I am doing this consult here - your experience is valuable.
Note: I installed Linux Fedora/Ubuntu - through GParted and the respective .iso file - in others laptops as HP and Toshiba, all working or running in peace. But now exists this situation with a MacBook Pro.
Observation: this laptop does not have neither VGA nor HDMI ports, it has either a thunderbolt or Mini DisplayPort port instead - therefore I bought a Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter
Do Fedora and Ubuntu recognize this port? It to use the adapter in peace to work with a secondary monitor.
