I use a Linux distro built specifically for audio production, Ubuntu Studio. It comes pre-loaded with everything you need. My workflow is pretty atypical, most of my sound sculpting is done outside the box using outboard gear, I generally only use the computer for recording and editing audio.

Do you think it would run well on an Intel Mac? I’ve got an old MacBook Pro running Linux that I used to use as a home server. Now it’s collecting dust.

Yeah, I don't see why not. Generally, Ubuntu is a good choice for revitalizing older hardware, kinda giving stuff that would be outdated and useless a new lease on life. I'm running it on a Toughbook CF-33 and a desktop that is probably 10 years old as well. Both are perfectly usable.
