This MBP was retired as my main MBP in 2014 when I purchased a new model. I have been running Ubuntu on my mid-2009 15" MBP for some time and it runs fine. Never mind the inconvenience of things like kernel or OS upgrades breaking your WIFI that you set up via WIKI somewhere because it was compiled against a previous version of the kernel to the one you just updated to. You'll also have to give up virtually all of your OS X apps.

It wasn't a random number at all.Īnd whatever variant of Linux you use, virtualisation or physical install, it will still have problems actually doing basic things like streaming content from network shares via CIFS or appletalk (KDE / Gnome apps almost all want to copy the whole file to your local machine first before playing or working on it - which is just garbage when you're say, watching a movie over WIFI and have to wait for it to copy first - yes you can solve that to an extent by mounting the share via the command line so linux thinks it is a local file system, but there's a bunch of other caveats on that and it's not intuitive at all).

And if the only reason you want linux is because it runs faster on your old hardware, just get the same thing with 8 GB in your OS X install and have something that actually works in a typical home network much better. But it is cheap and trying to run VMs on a machine with 4 GB and a spinning hard drive in it sucks. No, you don't need 8 GB for linux on bare metal. You also get snapshots to recover from if you screw something up.

Which is the easiest way to get up and running without needing to mess with drivers other than install VM tools which can even be automatically done depending on the distribution and VM host software used. It's a requirement to do reasonable virtualisation under OS X with a spinning hard disk. (My Mac Pro dual-boots into OSX or Linux, but I do have reason to run on the bare metal in that case - I get paid for it.) I use VirtualBox to run opensuse 13.2 on the rMBP and it works well. I'll second the suggestion to use Virtualbox (or one of the others, but vbox works and is free), unless you have some particular reason to run linux on the bare metal, or unless you're badly memory deprived and can't upgrade.
I can't comment on the wifi support as I always ran the 2009 MBP hardwired. My second choice suggestion would be Debian, as it tends to be a conservative distro and is likely to work well on your slightly older hardware. You might try opensuse 13.2 I'd avoid Leap, as KDE Plasma 5 is a mess and absolutely not ready for prime-time, IMHO. With more recent linux kernels there's a good chance that nouveau will work, and if you need to you can get it up and running in dumb (VESA) framebuffer mode and then download / install the proprietary nvidia driver. As I recall, the main issues had to do with the nvidia graphics card the nouveau driver was in pretty bad shape at the time. I had an earlier OpenSUSE (I forget the release) running on a mid-2009 MBP.
