Hey all,

I’ve currently got Mint running on my old Mid-2012 15” MBP, mainly as a hobby project / Linux learning experience. I have a newer Mac as my main computer.

I’ve already had a ton of failed attempts installing other distros which didn’t work out, I’m assuming because of the now quite outdated hybrid Intel/Nvidia GPU.

I’m currently running the Nvidia driver, but have been reading things about the 390 driver not working on newer kernels. Moving forwards am I going to be better protected from updates breaking things if I switch to using the Nouveau driver instead?

Thanks!
