E: I AM NOT USING FEDORA. Please stop linking to guides for Fedora. They will not work. uBlue/Bazzite does not use dnf.

I got a free iMac. Installed Linux on an external drive. Bazzite, specifically. WiFi does not work. My research leads me to a problem with proprietary Broadcom drivers but no solutions. If you know how to get this working, your advice would be appreciated.

Also if there’s another distro that works “out of the box” on Macs with GNOME I’d be open to installing that as well.

E: “System information” says it is a

Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 (7.77.111.1 AirPortDriverBrcmNIC-1772.1)

    Mint requires installing the proprietary drivers after installation, which is easy to do.

    I could do that. I’ve never actually tried Mint before. Do you have a link or instructions?

      From memory….

      If you open Driver Manager after installation it will say you need to either connect to Ethernet or insert the installation USB. Using the Installation USB is fine.

      It should then automatically detect you have a Broadcom WiFi module and just give you a checkbox you can click next to the correct driver.

      It will install the driver from the USB, say you need to restart and then you should be done! Upon rebooting your Mac should immediately recognise available WiFi networks and let you join them.
