"...a better Ubuntu than Ubuntu." To be fair, that bar is pretty low π I don't know how they've managed to do it, but I've had about half of my Ubuntu installs break themselves installing updates over the years.

I 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.

I 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.

To answer your question:yes, you should do a video on how you ran a modern OSZ on that system.

Nice! I have a 2015 Macbook Pro running beautifully on Alpine Linux. Maybe give Alpine a try?
