I literally just did the same thing with my 2011 MacBook Air this month but chose ElementaryOS for my Linux distro. It worked without any configuration right out of the box. I did want to dual boot it but I couldn't figure out how to properly repartition the drive so I figured I'd just wipe it and worst case use the Mac's built in "run home to momma" network install if I ended up needing to go back to macOS.
I was curious what you thought of the image quality of the display compared to the MBP in terms of brightness, sharpness, eye strain, etc. I know that's going to be a factor of the OS and software too.
