The hackintosh subreddit is filled with goodbye posts and pictures of new M4 Mac minis.

5-years-ago, I was building PCs to run macOS because Mac hardware was abysmal.

Now, people want Apple's hardware to run Windows and Linux because it's so good.

How the turntables...

Funny. All my Macs over 7 years old run Linux not because the hardware is so good. But so it can have an updated OS on it.

@nahga @snazzyq I should try this on my old macs, but I'm a newbie at Linux and not sure where to start.

I’ve stopped recommending distros to anyone as it’s hard know what will work for most. That said, I’m running Fedora on my Macs. It was pretty straightforward and I’ve been able to upgrade them to new major versions with almost no effort.

What one person concerns low effort tho… your mileage may vary.

@nahga @snazzyq I want one that I don't have to compile or hunt for drivers and GUI for.

I lean toward Debian in theory, but I need to educate myself a bit about that set of possibilities.

@skry @nahga @snazzyq Have you tried Aurora or Bluefin made by @UniversalBlue?

I personally have not. This does say anything negative about those, there are just so many distros any one person can use.
