For Debian-based distros (Pop!_OS, ElementaryOS):.For Fedora-based distros (Fedora, Nobara):.For Arch-based distros (Arch, Manjaro, EndeavourOS):.Step one – Decide what kind of experience you want to have with your Linux.If you are familiar with Linux and just want to fix the Wi-Fi or camera, jump to these steps: Use this link for T2 chip, or if you have the M1 chip there is a distro focusing on bringing Linux to it, Asahi. You will have to follow different steps as over time Apple is making harder and harder to fix their hardware. Also, SSD for Apple will not work for other companies.
But I recommend thinking about it a bit more if you need to change more parts to make it usable (screen, SSD, keyboard, trackpad) as the prices will pile up, and that money could be used for a better product. I had to replace the battery, I found it on Amazon, and it was simple to install it with this guide from IFIXT. Lastly, you can still find parts easily on Amazon and AliExpress if something needs to be replaced. The keyboard works fine, but I still miss some keys that I had to set up shortcuts later. The speakers sounded better and projects farther than the ASUS ROG Strix(GL502VS) for both games and videos.
The screen was great at 1440×900 and responded well when I downscaled the resolution of some games. It was slimmer and lighter than anything else I had at home, at 1.35 kg. Are you tired of not getting security updates? Is your old MacBook getting sluggish and you want to provide a new life to it? Look no further: Liberate it with Linux!īefore we proceed, use this guide is only if you already have an old MacBook lying around or if you found one extremely cheap, as computers like Lenovo or Framework would have better Linux support.ĭespite being old, and a bit abused, the notebook still holds some quality.
