Was kann man mit einem MacBookPro von Oktober 2010 eigentlich noch machen? 🤔

Updates bekommt das Gerät seit 2020 keine mehr.

Meiner Mum will ich nen neuen MacMini besorgen. Denke mit M2 dürfte sie gut versorgt sein. Aber der alte Mac, der läuft an sich auch noch rund.

Würde darauf ein aktuelles Ubuntu 22.04 LTS laufen? 🤔

Oder gar ein OpenSuse Tumbleweed? 🤔

@necrosis Als @ubuntu / 22.04 LTS sollte drauf laufen...

Ggf. RAM & SSD upgraden...

Was auf jeden fall läuft ist @bunsenlabs / und sowie @Raspberry_Pi ...

"240 million PCs could end up in landfills when Windows 10 support ends"

Sure.

Or they could be repurposed with or Chrome OS Flex, or , and we can stop being so freaking dramatic.

If you just browse, watch Netflix, shop, net banking, etc, Linux distributions like Mint or Ubuntu could save you money. It is an environment-friendly option.

@nixCraft Yeah...

Jist put on some @ubuntu / amd hve a good Desktoo for 5-10+ years amd even lowest-end machines can be repurposed with @bunsenlabs / or if you want something to just surf on, consider .

Either way, I think should be forced to pay for those >240M PCs they decided to obsolete for no good reason and that this should be accounted for in their as a !

If you could code any fictional technology from movies or books, what would it be?

@SweetAIBelle @landley @OS1337 After all I got my trusty and it really struggles running due to 's feckup aka. non-willingness to support the properly so instead I'd rather take advantage of that 1600768px screen and just go full , since it's basically a dual 800768 screen...

When the Raspberry Pi 5 was announced, we all said that most people would probably be better off repurposing an x86 thin client so we bought some dirt cheap new in box Dell Wyse 5070 machines to see if we were right. Spoiler: we were.

@LateNightLinux OFC you were - just like @heiseonline @ct_Magazin were when they bought some Thin client with a Celeron J4105 in it, to the point that these are nowadays completely jacked up in pricing on .de ...

Personally, I use some 's as and they run flawlessly with @ubuntu / 22.04 LTS ...

OFC they can also run @Raspberry_Pi , @bunsenlabs and even @tails_live just fine...

What is your favorite desktop environment and why? :linux:

I'm currently considering to switch away from GNOME the main reason i use it is because of the dash to dock feature (until recent events good stability ) . But i don't know much about any other environment than KDE and GNOME and i dislike KDE's task bar

@weirdmedia Consider as in @bunsenlabs or , which is a lightweight -gaps-inspired compositor based on .

In fact, @BrodieOnLinux looked at Sway some time ago...

So looks like that iMac is a 2009 model, not 2008. And the specs aren't so bad.

@stepfister @billgoats @Raspberry_Pi @bunsenlabs @ubuntu @tails Like , that is too a -based distro and also a fine choice.

Some people may even find or @linuxmint a good option when it comes to providing a hassle-free unit when one wants a and not just a option similar to which is a offering...
