Hello! Newbie with an ancient MacBook
by linuxylophone from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5H4DW)
Hi Linux Questions!
To make a long story short, I'm trying to get Linux running properly on a 2009 MacBook Air. I've been hopping from distro to distro, prioritizing ones that claim to be lightweight, and learning all I can while trying to get them to boot and talk to the appropriate hardware.
Someday I hope to have a newer machine I can run Linux on with less trouble, but for now I'll be coming here with questions about using Linux to revive this old MacBook.
Looking forward to talking to you all.
