I've got a 2006 17" Macbook pro with Intel Core Duo Processor and 2GB RAM. I'd install LXLE on it if Linux wasn't such a bitch to install on 2006 macbooks specifically due to the way their UEFI works. So, what should I do with this thing?

Wait until September and put it on Craigslist near a university. Some poor freshman desperate to fit in will buy it.

>LXLE
Use a normal distro.
>UEFI
Please, do some research before you shitpost.

>>61413465
what are you going to do with it?
>>
>>61413294
is it a macbook 1,2? If so libreboot it.
>>
>>61413487
It is. Any tips for Libreboot?

>>61413471
He's going to turn it in to Best Buy for a $75 gift card
>>
>>61413487
just from glancing at the libreboot website, it looks like there is hardware support for macbook 1,1 and 2,1 with no mention of support for macbook pro or specifically macbook pro 1,2. Will it work with macbook pro 1,2?

Oh your right I didn't read the "pro" part. Yeah I don't think it will work.
>>
>>61413644

>>61413364
