Here's one:

Apparently some hardware still doesn't work.

I would expect that the webcam will never work. If I take the example of
both the 2013 and 2017 MacBook Air, they will run Linux fine as long as
you don't need the webcam to work at all. You can get it to run
temporarily, but one kernel update and you start all over. Similarly, the
wireless won't work initially because it requires proprietary Broadcom
drivers.
