Recommended distro for 2011 MacBook Pro

Does anyone have a recommendation for distros that would work well on a 2011 MacBook Pro? It’s in decent shape and as far as I know there’s nothing wrong with it. I figured I could use this as both a learning opportunity for myself and a way to give the laptop a second life. I’ve done some research the past few months and there seems to be some conflicting opinions out there and also some of the posts/tutorials are a few years old so I’m not sure if anything has changed. I’ve generally seen that Ubuntu, Mint and Arch would be good and the processes seem straight forward. I’d really appreciate any suggestions before I pull the trigger.
