    I recently flashed Mint on a MacBook Air 2012, but WiFi is really unstable and slow. Probably a driver issue. I had worse luck with Debian and Fedora.

      If you are using an external screen see if wifi improves with it disconnected. This took me far too long to figure out…

      Had the same issue on MacBook pro 2012. Solution for me was to use broadcom-wl-dkms in case that might help you as well

        Update 2 months later: this was it. I just didn’t know how to install it on Mint. Turns out there’s a Driver Manager that you can use. Thanks!
