I can’t speak for your exact model, but I’m running kubuntu on my old 2012 MacBook Pro (with an upgraded SSD and maxed-out 16 GB RAM). My daily driver is a desktop, but I spend almost as much time on the laptop. It’s a wonderful experience for my use case, and all the hardware is supported “out of the box”.
Maybe try distro hopping a bit to see which experience is best for your usage. Have fun with it!

Yes, I also had a positive experience with Ubuntu on a 2012 MacBook Air :)
