So I can’t code properly and I can’t run Lemmy or YunoHost on a VM no matter how hard I try. I wanna use it for something and put it to good use, but for what??

Put ZorinOS on it and use it as a laptop. Easy. Or Mint. Both work nicely on a 2015 Air.
I have a few and was going to use them as servers, but laptop battery management is too fussy for a server setup. Now selling them cheap with Linux.
Did they still have x86_64 CPUs in 2015 apples?
The first Apple silicon macs came out in 2020, and they transitioned from PowerPC to intel in 2006
…and they had only embraced PowerPC maybe 12 years earlier in the early 90s, if I recall correctly.
I think my computer is Intel, not Silicon, if that says anything
A 2015 model is definitely going to be Intel, that was the only thing they made at the time
Model numbers are on the bottom of the computer printed in light grey on the aluminum.
If your computer is an A1466 It’s the most common kind of air, and fairly well supported in a few distros.
Yep! A1466
I think 🤔 maybe
Hell, Linux runs great on my nearly 20 year old 2007 iMac. Gonna miss the Intel Mac era.
I have a 2008 iMac running Mint just great.
By the time Apple Silicon is truly old and no longer supported, they will probably support Linux fine. It won’t be just Asahi either.
Well and despite how quickly it has grown, Asahi is still a work in progress and has not been updated for M3/M4 processors yet, even when the M5 has just released. I honestly feel like old Intel macs are a waaaay better bang for your buck if you want a stable server box, all of them handle Linux pretty flawlessly, in my albeit limited experience.
Yes, I agree, I was projecting about five or six years into the future.
Whoa, nice!!! I tried to use mine as a server but Docker wouldn’t set up Lemmy properly, the login doesn’t work when I try to sign up with an admin account, and YunoHost won’t work right either.
