My apartment complex used to be a hotel and still has the doors. Can I hack the key cards unlock?

Basically the title. I confirmed with management that the system for these hotel style door locks are no longer in use and they likely even moved doors from their original location in the process of remodeling the building into apartments. I'm just trying to prevent myself from getting locked out and avoid using my regular key if I can. I've tried reading it with an NFC reader and it didn't work so I imagine it was to be RFID?

Any tips on where to start? I am an experienced software engineer, but I haven't done any hacking before. I can buy tools to do the job if necessary

Edit: Added pictures for the cynics. It is my apartment

Linux Distro for Running on a Macbook for Work
  • You guys both make good points, if I can, I will absolutely argue for the upgrade if I can. I've been using the mac with MacOS for a while now, so they'll probably argue it's not a necessity since I'm still not really seeing performance issues on it yet, but I may be able to try.

  • I'm still a ways out for an upgrade unfortunately. We generally use them until they're no longer usable for what we do. My development team is kind of the exception at our company, since we're the only mac users there aren't as many standard policies for our laptops yet

  • Linux Distro for Running on a Macbook for Work

    Hey guys, I have a macbook pro 2019 (intel architecture) that my company gave me for work (I do software development). They allow me to work on linux if I want to, and recent developments at the company have made me more inclined.

    I spent a lot of time on Arch Linux on my personal computer a while back, and I love the customizability of the system, the user repo, and the package manager, but I definitely had some issues with stability from time to time.

    Essentially I want something customizable, specifically where I have the freedom to mess with things like my window manager and compositor if I want to. I used to use i3 and I don't know if that's the move any more with recent developments in wayland.

    So to end my meandering:

    1. I'm hoping for some recommendations on distros
    2. Some information about HiDPI displays and utilizing multiple displays with different DPIs
    3. Some recommendations on WMs, especially tiling ones
