I've come across a circa 2011 Mac Book Pro.  It appears to be in decent condition save for the power adapter which appears to have been chewed by a pet, so it doesn't flame on.

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.
