We have a new board under the Linux category where you can make or reply to posts about your experiences running Linux on Mac devices. You can find it here:

https://plugintolinux.ca/forum/index.php/board,21.0.html

I'm going to move Fox's excellent related posts over the next few days as I find them. If you find any I've missed, post the links here or Topic heading. What do you think of this new board? Is it a useful addition?

This appears to be a very good video tutorial on Youtube from Explaining Computers presenter.
It shows how to do this for both Intel based computers and AMD Rysen based computers.

Kal, I noticed in your signature that you're running Linux on a Mac. You and Fox should share notes. I wonder if we should have a specific section for running Linux on Macs.

When the Win10 PC's fail to remain supported, a-Linux distro I will go. I have a couple of 4th gen i5's on win10. Keep 'em active.

Do you do this for customers or only yourself? I'm curious if any computer businesses recommend or help users move to Linux if their hardware is too old. Unless the user needs specific software, I can see how Linux can fill most needs, but I don't know how many businesses have gotten customers to use it.

Did you have to use a workaround or was it already compatible?

No workaround necessary.

That's the number of views for the unpleasant computer story, which is a totally unrealistic number. That's almost a thousand a day.

Why is that unrealistic? I've seen the stats for some other websites, and the PLUG Forum gets a lot of traffic. I'm not saying they're all readers. And keep in mind those views are for the entire topic, which spans several pages. It's by page views, not topic views. The more pages in a topic, the more page views it will generate because every page is a new view.
