So, I have an old mac mini, one of the flat ones. You know, it’s shaped more flat than the new ones.

I want to put Linux Mint on there.

Or maybe Ubuntu

and then, I am going to buy a really cheap monitor on eBay.

    I use a MacBook Pro 2012 as a secondary computer and I find it very exciting to install Linux on beautiful hardware like these old Macs.

    It’s surprizingly Linux friendly (except reseting the wifi once a year). I don’t know why but previously I never thought you could install Linux on a Mac😅

      I have a 2011 MBP running Arch (btw). The thing won’t fucking die. Well, apart from the battery, which went spicy as hell a couple of years ago.
