What I see recommended nowadays is indeed mint, various Ubuntu variations, arch (always, although a lot of the time in jest), Nix fairly regularly, and as for the classics: SuSE and Fedora, they're rarely mentioned.
And windows users are well known for their mastery of esoteric programming languages. Such as... um... ah... batch files, which, well, some of them can write. If they're not more than four or five lines.
But that counts, right?
It might be possible, but you can be sure that Apple made it as inconvenient as they technically could. They try their best to lock everyone in. You're probably better off getting some kind of Apple box to manage those machines.
I think someone once ran it on a dead raccoon.
