2025-04-04 07:40:13 +0000 UTCI am running Mint Linux on a 2016 12" Macbook and Ubuntu on a 2015 13" Macbook Air. Going to MX a try now as it appears to be zippier.

2025-04-04 05:13:06 +0000 UTCI have this exact same MacBook Air, and just last night I used OpenCoreLegacyPatcher to install Sequoia on it haha! It runs shockingly well, given the 4GB of RAM.
