WiFi and webcam don't work out of the box, but it's an old MacBook so I wasn't expecting much. The color scheme is surprisingly well done.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

so... kde with a pink scheme?
EDIT: Yeah. source even says it's Debian+ KDE + Pink
EDIT2 : @DickFiasco@sh.itjust.works , the webcam stuff is on you, it's basically debian. use debian solutions for your particular macbook/webcam and it should work.
Or just get Asahi linux and slap a pink KDE theme/the theme/branding for HM linux on that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asahi_Linux
EDIT3 : Just install this and call it a day : https://store.kde.org/p/2362661
Was the OG any different ?

Kubuntu + pink.
so no.
To be honest, I'm just running HML as a live image from a USB drive. This computer normally runs Arch. I got the webcam working when I first installed Arch, but it broke at some point and I haven't had the energy to fix it. The AUR has the proprietary firmware, and drivers are part of the kernel, so I'm not sure what the issue is.
That’s an Intel MacBook, no Asahi.
🤷
good for pointing out for people, my bad. IDK which macs are what.
When I set up Linux on my wife's MacBook it took two hours to find all the instructions on how to do it AND the files needed to do it. Had to use 4 different instruction sets because all 4 left out some steps.
So yeah, MacBook webcam functionality is on the installer/user, but it's not always easy to figure out how to do it if you've never done it before.
same here w my macbooks almost 10 years ago.
now deepseek will give you copy/paste-able instructions in a few seconds; the future is now. lol
Yeah unfortunately the new one doesn't skip their neck out. I'd like way more pink
