   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.
