I understand you're curious about running Windows versus Linux, especially regarding Zorin OS.
You have options, though some distributions are restricted for hackintosh purposes. Apple strongly discourages running anything other than OSX on Macs. It's worth noting that this might be considered hackintosh, which we can't assist with here. I believe it aligns with that category. However, if you meant hackintosh incorrectly, it could potentially violate Apple's terms of service. Running it in a VM is simple, but using it as your primary OS isn't the most feasible approach.
I thought the person was referring to setting it as the base operating system, though I'm not sure that qualifies as hackintosh—it's more about running Mac OS on other platforms. Virtual machines are acceptable. Possibly the order was switched (Mac OS on Mac or Mac OS on another device).
It's certainly feasible, though the complexity varies based on the MacBook's age. Recent upgrades to advanced systems like Arch Linux might not guarantee a smooth setup, leaving your 2016 MacBook Pro without a working touchbar and limited function keys. Power settings would likely be minimal, and connecting most USB devices could pose challenges. Thunderbolt would be risky, while older models generally handle the process more smoothly. Virtualization offers a reliable way to run Linux with fewer issues.
Yes, ToS can apply to hardware. There are cases where certain software is restricted based on the device you're using, even if you own it.
