My brother salvaged an old Mac that going into the trash and installed Ubuntu on it. It sits happily running some of his SDR apps now. It's a shame, a lot of stuff is going in the landfill when it could run a lightweight Linux disto quite happily!

This machine seems pretty solid and performance is not bad. It's just bigger than newer models.
I have Ubuntu on my old desktop set to dual boot to either Ubuntu on 250gb drive or Windows 10 on 500gb ssd. Haven't used it for a min since upgrading, but will soon, as I want to setup my SDR rig again. My brother hasn't used anything but Linux in decades.
