    If Apple isn’t supporting a machine that’s otherwise a beast… Linux.

      I thought about putting Linux on my old MacBook before discovering OCLP, but I wouldn’t have had the same syncing between my laptop, my phone and my iPad. Also, it was a pain in the ass on that machine because at the time I only knew about Bootcamp, which wouldn’t work because I’d replaced the DVD drive with a second HDD.

      I bought a mid-2012 Macbook specifically for Linux (I wrecked all my prior plastic laptops and wanted something robust, durable, and maintainable).

      After watching Rossmann for a few years, it was the obvious choice - with replaceable RAM, HDD, USB3, Thunderbolt, WiFi AC, and the disk caddy can be replaced to hold an additional storage drive. Not to mention the vast library of his videos instructing you on how to fix various issues if need be. Other models either had problems with screen delamination, weren’t upgradeable enough, or had battery swelling problems etc.

      Not a fan of apple personally, but I have to admit the 2012 design really holds up well.

      Then a while after, the Framework came out 😭😭
