How about Linux on an outdated iMac (2012)?
It would probably run, but I am not familiar with that hardware.
“How about Linux on an outdated iMac (2012)?”
From what I understand there are no problems with Linux on Apple. And Linux usually likes older machines. I just installed current Linux Mint on a 2004 Dell alongside Win XP. Runs like a champ! Drives everything including the old floppy drive and telephone modem.
