Similar boat here with a Mid 2012 MBP. Build quality is amazing, Linux runs great, and the touchpad gestures work really well.
My only complaint is Broadcom's awful blob WLAN driver, the libre alternative driver is more stable but sadly 1/4 of the speed
you probably already know but the wifi card should be replaceable IIRC
Apple opted to use a proprietary internal ribbon connector for the wlan 😭 there is a reverse engineered third party adapter available but the cost isn't worth it for me
doh 😭sorry pal :)
