This is a great way to reuse old laptops. However, when I tried this with my old 2013 MacBook Pro with Retina display, I could not get Linux to work well with the retina display. I tried a bunch of different display managers and Linux variations (although to be honest I don't recall trying Fedora). It just seems that some programs refuse to play nice with the dpi settings from the window manager...and some window managers have a hard time dealing with it themselves...
Sadly, I ended up going back to OS X, as I'm only just unable to move on to Big Sur, so not too far behind....
