@Lasagna @PlasticPope I use mint on a 2011 MBP 17" (the last 17" MBP). Works fine except for the WiFi.
And I hat to play with the fan control a little. MacBooks always gets to hot. Apple wants there devices quiet, so to fan start, in my opinion, to late and getting to hot. Or what do you think if the CPU reaches 100C?. I try to not getting higher than 80C. This will improve lifespan of the hardware.
And I disabled the GPU, because it was broken. That's a know failure of the 2011 MBP.
