I asked this to an AI, and it didn’t say anything intelligible, maybe I’m just not smart enough to understand AI.

      Well, the next question is “what do you do when you drive?” Cars and trucks have wildly different roles they’re good at.

      So basically, what do you want your computer to be good at doing? That dictates your hardware purchase and the OS you will end up using.

          I currently have it installed on a 2008 iMac and a 2012 MacBook Pro.

          I also have ZorinOS On a MacBook Air that works great, and Debian on a MBPro 2014, and am about to install Fedora on another MBPro, 2013. Those are mostly server experiments, though.

          Yes, I wind up with a lot of old macs that I am reluctant to recycle!

              When you create the live USB installer, you can test it out before installing by booting from the USB stick.

              You will probably need to have a way of establishing a wired connection, however, in order to install the Wi-Fi drivers.
