I have a friend who has Linux on his laptop…and it doesn’t seem difficult to use. I’d probably need to hire / pay someone to do this, as it think it would likely be beyond my ability. And budget constraints limit constantly buying new devices. I believe in reusing stuff as much as possible. So, I thought I’d see about getting a second opinion here. But apparently, according to the technician at the computer repair store yesterday…it’s just too old to be worth it…in his opinion. It says it’s running OS X El Capitan but I’m pretty sure the guy I bought it from told me he had upgraded it to High Sierra. grrrr I stopped by my small, local computer shop yesterday and they told me that they do install Linux for people… but they wouldn't even consider doing it on a machine this old! :( It's a mid-2011, 27”, 3.1 GHzm Intel i5, MHz DDR3, AMD Radeon HD 6970M 1024 MB. I LOVE this piece of hardware!! It's great! But generally, philosophically, politically, as dot.org, open-source kinda-girl… it really me off that there are no options for this awesome piece of equipment…b/c of Apple’s bogus proprietary OS stuff.
If it's possible …or realistic… I'd like to convert or add a Linux OS to my beloved iMac desktop.
