So, I have an old mac mini, one of the flat ones. You know, it’s shaped more flat than the new ones.

I want to put Linux Mint on there.

Or maybe Ubuntu

and then, I am going to buy a really cheap monitor on eBay.

    I would be interested to hear your results and which flavor Linux you end up with. I have one of these just sitting around too.

      I’m leaning towards Ubuntu because that’s what everyone said would work. Some people in the comments are also saying this. I’ve never installed Linux on a Mac before.

      In my experience, EndeavourOS works best on these old Macs.

      People report good results with Mint as well but I get the impression they have to jump though more hoops to get decent WiFi.
