Last year, I wrote about how you can give new life to an old MacBook with Linux, specifically Elementary OS in that instance. Recently, I returned to that circa 2015 MacBook Air and discovered I had lost my login password. I downloaded the latest Elementary OS 5.1.7 Hera release and could not get the live boot to recognize my Broadcom 4360 wireless chipset.

    I hear Kubuntu can run on only 2 GB but Lubuntu is probably a better choice, both are based on Ubuntu so very stable. It's worth a shot trying Kubuntu if you are looking for something nice cause Kubuntu uses KDE Plasma which is just great imo

        That's great! We need more leftist programmers :) Switching to Linux on this old laptop might end up getting you to completely embrace Linux :sicko-hyper:
