    If it’s a MacBook that no longer gets updates from Apple then it’s probably from around 2014ish, and is definitely an Intel Mac. This is a great candidate for Linux. If you want an environment that is similar to Mac, go with gnome as the desktop environment. Outside of that, any of the major distributions should be fine. I’ve run KDE Neon, Ubuntu, and am currently running fedora on a 2014 iMac and all of them worked without issue.




  • Thank you for sharing this, and I 100% concur. If you bike, skate, scoot, whatever, protect your head.

    I had been riding my bike to work for a couple of years, without wearing a helmet. I knew I should get one but just never got around to it.

    Finally, I actually got myself a helmet. The next day, riding to work, wearing my helmet for the very first time, riding the same route, doing the same ride like normal, I took a corner a little too sharp and my rear wheel caught the curb. I fell and banged my head HARD against the concrete bridge wall. That helmet saved my fucking brain. I wear my helmet every time I ride.








  • I’ve been generally happy with Ubuntu. I don’t really care for snaps, but on my headless server that’s not really an issue. I suppose I could have taken the time to uninstall snapd from the server, but I haven’t cared enough to do so.

    I ran it on my desktop for quite awhile as well, but there the snap issue was much more present. I hate Firefox as a snap, and while I’m aware of the new Firefox ppa, I decided to switch to fedora since I’ve never used it and wanted to broaden my experience a bit more.

    And yes, I’m aware of Red Hat/IBM’s shitty corporate bullshit too. Maybe one of these days I’ll use Arch btw.
