I've never tried to install linux on an Apple before.
If it is an intel based machine, it's no really much different than any other machine. The only difference would be in how you get to the boot menu. That's about it.
I'd have to check the specs, but I believe its an M1 or M2.
If it is M1 or M2 Asahi Linux is the way to go, but it is still in development and probably not ready for your mom
Does lemmy have any communities for unintentional "yo mamma" jokes?

This is the moment I have been training for...
Linux on an Intel-based MacBook Air was my daily driver for years. It worked perfectly fine; battery life was lower than on macOS though.
I have. It mostly works, but the network drivers are a pain at best and simply non-existent at worst, often forcing you to add a USB dongle.
