Yup, i have a mid 2012 mbp with linux mint xfce and it runs great. My biggest complaint is the hardware support. Had to add a usb wifi dongle because broadcom chip was constantly dropping and the sleep wake takes forever and sometimes it wont sleep. But otherwise runs like a champ. I do kinda wish it would die so i could get a laptop without the sleep/wake issues.
I run a 1 year newer mbp with fedora and my main drag is standby voltage. Even if the laptop is shutdown the battery will drain (batt 2 yrs old). Other than that, it still does everything you could possibly ask of it.
