I'm curious about which Linux distribution works best for the 2020 Intel MacBook Pro. Are there any specific options that have great support for this model?

Linux Mint tends to work well on the 2020 MacBook Pro. Just keep in mind that the wireless drivers are included in the install media. You’ll need to use the Driver Manager post-install to activate them, but it's pretty straightforward.
If you're new to Linux, go for Ubuntu or Linux Mint. They are the most user-friendly options and should run smoothly on your hardware.
Check out t2 Linux specifically designed for T2 Macs. You can find more info at t2linux.org. It's tailored for your model and should provide better compatibility.
For most systems, the differences between Linux distributions are pretty minor. You'll be fine with a variety of distros, especially since they all manage to collect software from multiple sources for you. Consider who maintains the distro rather than its features, as long as it's a reputable group, you should be good to go!
I get that, but I'm really looking for the best fit for this specific laptop!
I appreciate the tip, but I'm past the beginner phase. What would really suit my MacBook Pro specifically?
