Yes, Linux can be installed and run on MacBook computers, especially on older models with Intel processors, but chances are you will have no sound out of the box and only a dummy output, so here’s how to fix it.
Forget about restarting the PipeWire or PulseAudio daemons, modifying the ALSA configuration, blacklisting kernel modules, installing a different kernel, etc. The problem with the Dummy Output on Linux is that the right driver is missing, so to fix it you will need to first identify the codec used by your MacBook's sound card.
