- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content

Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

2013 eh? Can I interest you an an Ubuntu iso?
Sadly no because its my wife’s machine and I’m not allowed to “ruin it”
Well, when she eventually upgrades it, you’ve got a sweet little machine ready for a second life. :-)
I did this on my old air. 4 gigs of RAM just wasn't cutting it and no updates.
I spent over a week trying to finesse it. It runs really well but oh my god there's no battery life.
I've installed every hack, crack cheat, throttle governor I can work out, I can't get it past 2 hours of battery life. You can see the meter dropping fast enough it's unnerving.
It's crazy, If I drop the CPU governor down to slideshow frequency I can get about maybe 5 or 6 hours out of it. I was getting between 5 and 6 hours of YouTube viewing an OSX.
What is that? I’m not very tech savvy until I am required to be. I have my good old MacBook Pro 2012 or 13. One of those. I haven’t used it in a while.
I’ve been keeping that sucker going for that long, just swapping out parts. Is there a way I can play around with it?
You can install Linux distros on older, unsupported Macs. Here's a coold guide: https://www.schabell.org/2022/12/installing-fedora-36-on-macbook-pro-13-inch.html?m=1
