Looking to install Linux on 2017 MBP (self.linux)

Hi all - I've never done an install of Linux before but have always hovered around the community. Now that I have a "spare" and old Macbook Pro that is no longer supported by Apple, I am interested in installing Linux on the device. Obviously I am asking a very broad question here, but are there recommendations on what OS to install on Macs? What are some good resources to find installation guides? In general, just looking for guidance as I start this process as I'm very green to the idea. Thanks all.

I'll second mint, works very well on my 2015 mbp and had no issues so far.
