Dude I had a bunch of people tell me to install mint OS on an older intel MacBook Pro and no one told me that out the box your Wi-Fi doesn’t work, the keyboard doesn’t light up, the touch bar doesn’t work, etc. lol
I don’t even like the Touch Bar but I need F keys so…
Then when I asked what to do they all said “well that’s your fault for using a Mac.” Most unhelpful shit ever. One guy said “well use an external keyboard and Ethernet chord then. I’m on a tower what’s the issue here?”
It’s a laptop. Sometimes I move around with it. I travel a fair bit too.
Idk honestly it’s not just a Linux thing. Any technical community you’ll often find a lot of people who hand wave away very reasonable issues instead of either suggesting a solution or, I don’t know, just not saying anything? Like they have to chime in and call you a whiner.
Not with mint no. I think I’m going to try and boot pop or mint on my wife’s old X1 carbon. Specs aren’t remotely as good but it’ll be sufficient for a Jellyfin server

Did you ever get everything working? I don’t have a Mac, I’m just curious.
