Download mbpfan (zip or tar.gz version are the same, choose one) and extract it wherever you want. Despite the name, it works on any Intel Mac.

I run my 2013 with the intel gpu kernel blacklisted and the nvidia 470 graphics drivers. The virtual TTYs and wayland don’t work but everything else works fine. For the fan/cpu stuff you can look at https://github.com/linux-on-mac/mbpfan

Check out mbpfan. Although, overheating on an 360p video sounds very wrong even without mbpfan, I've never had such problems. I suggest disassembling and checking out thermal paste.

I am currently using Debian on my MacBook Air. The broadcom wifi card driver is not in the official repository so I had to use an external wifi dongle when first installing the OS. You might also encounter issues with the webcam, so this link might help. I am also using mbpfan to help with heating issues. Other than that, I haven't had any issues.
