Oh yaay! I finally found a linux distro that installs right out of the box on the old stock 2012 Mac Pro 1,1. (I've tried LOTS of them–very educational). Matt Gadient has made a whole bunch of modified linux .isos for various Macs, available on his site:

One that worked on this machine (burned to DVD) is
'linuxmint-21-cinnamon-64bit-mac-mattgadient.com.iso'

Apple's 32-bit EFI implementation on late 2006 Macs makes it tricky to get 64-bit Linux distros installed. Tricky, but not impossible...

Also is there a specific reason we shouldnt play #minetest while watching #freetube

As unless Im browsing twitter or youtube, that seems to be when #LinuxMint21 freezea.

#Xviewer 3.4.6 not honoring my theme settings bugs me more then it probably should. One of the lasts apps that I can't find a way to get into #lightmode from my recent upgrade from #LinuxMint21 to #LinuxMint22

I'm running #Mate Desktop. Any body with any ideas to try, I've tried too much to list here - but nothing has worked so far.

Temporary solution is to set BIOS to disable wifi when connecting LAN. Or to Boot with LAN already connected.

I even swapped in a new harddisk and tried with a new installation of #linux_mint_22 (same problem) and #LinuxMint21 (no problem).

I suspect it is the newer kernel (afaik 6.8 vs. 5.15). Somebody having a similar problem of even a solution?

Would be nice to usw wifi and LAN simultanously e. g. for router configs and updates.

Edit: corr. kernel 6.8 not 6.3

Ok, Mint ist nicht die Distro für mich, aber sie macht trotzdem gerade für Einsteiger*innen vieles richtig. Für die Arbeit hab ich dieses Install-Video gemacht. Was haltet ihr davon?

Ok, kaum erscheint mein Video, wie man #LinuxMint installiert, veröffentlicht @linuxmint ein neues Release: #linuxmint22wilma. Auch wenn in meinem Video noch Footage von #LinuxMint21 vorkommt, sollte das Gesagte auch für #LinuxMint22 gelten.
