Installing Debian on a Macbook
IIRC, I made a couple changes to the login config file to enable sleep on lid close. Followed the official page to setup the WiFi driver, and this for the webcam. You might want to check out setting up DKMS for the drivers. Early on I couldn't figure out why updating the kernel causes my WiFi driver to cease working, that was the solution I found.

Using Linux Mint as Main OS on 2015 Macbook Pro
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.
