Wait, the guy who claimed to be for the environment was on the board of a company that contributes unnecessary e-waste by not allowing their hardware to last its rightful lifespan?? Wish I could say I was shocked...
My 2013 MacBook Pro is running Linux and kicking ass. So, although they dropped os upgrades after 7 years, I think it says a lot about their desktops. The same cannot be said with their iOS devices, as I have an iPod Touch V1 that could be put to good use if only I could run Ubuntu touch.
Literally any PC made in the last decade will run Linux like a champ. It has nothing to do with it being made by Apple
That is specifically not true of Apple. They don't make drivers for Linux, and often change components which means there are several Apple devices that are really hard to run Linux on. The touchbar MacBooks are a nightmare for Linux, and the ARM Macs are slowly getting support, but it is sub par last I looked.
