As per title, have you experienced any distro on this device? Currently torn between mint/Debian or just vanilla Debian

    anything that isnt very hard to run should be fine. ive personally ran a distro on an early 2012/2013 mac and it worked just fine. forgot what one but i know it was a very common mainstream one. i also somehow got kali on it so that was interesting too. if you want something easy and simple you should probably use mint or debian if they support imacs, otherwise? its really down to personal pref

      Yeah, the idea is something simple and stable. Stable because I don’t want to babysit the OS (I already do that at work), and simple so my wife can also use it in case of need. She only know windows so anything the comes close in terms of UI is “ok” for her. The real choice was between KDE or cinnamon. Eventually opted for Mint/Debian
