I have an "Apple iMac Retina 4K, 21.5-inch, 2017" that I'm probably going to "clean" install a Linux-based operating system (mostly likely Pop!_OS, Linux Mint or Ubuntu) on in the next week or two, and I'm just wondering if there is anything I need to be aware of? Is there anything noteworthy that won't work, or that I need to be aware of?

I just tried it with a "live" USB (didn't think it'd work with an Apple PC) and everything except bluetooth seems to work... Fortunately, I have the Logitech receivers for my keyboard and mouse, so that's easily worked around.
Also, if you're going to use a BT mouse/keyboard, be aware they won't work before you get into the system and they connect. So no OS selection in the EFI or GRUB. You could try pairing them from MacOS, that may allow them to connect as the computer starts.
