I gave up trying to get everything to work in Win11 on my late 2011 MBP 17" (macbookpro8,3). So I turned to Mint since I played with it briefly a few years ago. Pleasantly surprised that everything worked out-of-the-box except for wifi. Just needed a broadcomm driver that can be found in the installer usb drive. Display, bluetooth, webcam, mic and sound works just fine.

Thumbs up for Mint.
