Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • 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.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. 🇬🇧 Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇺🇸
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
    •  

    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.

    I have a MacBook Pro Mid-2011 still going. But it does not get any updates since years(even security ones).

    I just updated a few 2011 iMacs to Monterey using this: https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/

    They’re a bit more sluggish than they were on High Sierra, but everything works well enough. For some reason I couldn’t get the latest version to work but a previous one worked great (1.5 vs 2.2)

    I put Sequoia on my 2011 MBP, but it felt like a step too far for the poor old gal. So I wiped the drive and put Mint on it. Runs nice. My 2014 Mini server is running Mint too.

    I just put Mint on a different 2011 iMac 27”, haven’t done Linux since Yellow Dog. Much nicer experience so far

    Thank you!

    I have one similar to that 😃 I have set up a dual boot with EndeavourOS to get security updates there

    (Prepare partition in macOS by shrinking main and make a second FAT. You’ll change the file system to the correct one during installation of Linux. At reboot hold alt/option to choose which OS/USB-Stick to boot)

    With the macOS, I want to try legacy patcher, but would have to kill my Linux in the process, so I did not try it yet..
