E: I AM NOT USING FEDORA. Please stop linking to guides for Fedora. They will not work. uBlue/Bazzite does not use dnf.
I got a free iMac. Installed Linux on an external drive. Bazzite, specifically. WiFi does not work. My research leads me to a problem with proprietary Broadcom drivers but no solutions. If you know how to get this working, your advice would be appreciated.
Also if there’s another distro that works “out of the box” on Macs with GNOME I’d be open to installing that as well.
E: “System information” says it is a
Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 (7.77.111.1 AirPortDriverBrcmNIC-1772.1)

I’m not using Fedora.
Fedora uses RPM packaging format and
dnfis just a front-end for that. Atomic variants of Fedora and uBlue distros (they are based on the former) userpm-ostree, which also works with RPM.Also, please stop being so confident in your stance when you don’t know much about Linux or your distribution of choice. People are here to help you only out of kindness and not obligation.
I already know all of that.
Bazzite is based on Fedora so most/all Fedora stuff will work
dnf does not.

I’d also Google how to add the repo you need.
The only distros I’ve found that carry the broadcom drivers at install are the Ubunto families
I know how to use rpm-ostree but thank you.
I don’t use Google.
Saying “use a search engine” is not helpful. I’ve already done that.
Can you add the repo and then use whatever package manager you have to install the drivers from it?
