MacBook Air owner?
2018/2019 models are losing #Apple support.
#OptGreen with #GNU/#Linux to keep your device in use! These machines will run beautifully for many years to come.
Not only wallet friendly, #upcycling keeps CO2 emissions out of the atmosphere. Ca. 75% of Apple's emissions comes from production alone (details in alt text).
Sustainable, independent #FreeSoftware: Better for users, best for the #environment.
Mac book pro from 2012 still going, not strong, Bluetooth barely works, there's a dying row of pixels, on the screen, the CPU doesn't seem to support any modem video codec in accelerated mode, and the speakers were clearly garbage and it doubles how bad the Bluetooth is. But it's running pop os! And it's running it fine. I mean as long as you connect via rustdesk to another real machine to do real work. It can't handle tabs or browser rendering...
Anyway even if i retire it today, it's outlasted 3 work laptops.
Especially if it’s a 12”, parts to straighten that thing out are dirt cheap. Last time I did display work on the old late 2012 12”, the owner wanted a whole new upper assembly, top clamshell and all and it was ~$100.
