This isn’t really a big discussion, but just wanted to share here that if you have an old MacBook Air (mine is 2013), it can get a second life with Xubuntu.
I have really had headaches with Linux on Mac in the past, and so I was quite reluctant to try this tip, but this was as easy and painless as installing Ubuntu on a Thinkpad!
It runs really fast again, and the selection of apps that comes with the OS are well chosen, in my opinion.
It feels neat to have a really light, small Linux hardware device like that.
The Fedora user in me feels the strong urge to point out that Fedora Xfce exists.
I’m a big fan of repurposing older machines with Linux though! I just installed Linux on my old Cr-48 for fun, and now I have a laptop for distraction-free writing (since it can’t handle too much else lol)
My work laptop is kinda just a permanent potato I leave at work. If it is lost its no loss. I run Lubuntu as it is light weight and it just works as well as anything on Ubuntu.
Do you think that would work on a MacBook Air? I’ve spent ages testing out distros on an older (white) MacBook years ago, so I was really pleased Xubuntu just worked right away.
