Looking forward to having a laptop around that I actually want to use!

I was talking about Linux Mint and/or Elementary OS as alternatives to Pop!_OS.
Instructional video I referred to:    • Macbook Pro SSD Upgrade (2011/2012/2013)  

I am using the Canon HF10 on this video. Still testing that out.

UPDATE: I subsequently installed Pop!_OS on a non-Apple laptop and the Wi-Fi worked straight away. So I guess having to manually install the Wi-Fi drivers was to do with it being Apple hardware.
