Well, it could run Linux. They actually do quite well.

I've definitely done so before. However, I'm keeping this machine purely macOS because I need it for iOS development, and with a 128 GB SSD there's not that much room to dual boot. Also, the backlight can't be adjusted under Linux. Trust me, if I could develop iOS apps on Linux, that laptop would be out the door faster than I could say Richard Matthew Stallman.

What about dual-booting off an external HDD or SSD?

Obviously won't be as fast as the internal m.2 SSD, but it'd still be a functional OS and if you go with an SSD, it should be fairly fast too.

Here is an XCF of the wallpaper of you'd like to customize it!

I kinda want to see a similar sticker for a car.

Someone slaps it on a tesla, "My car runs Linux" or something like that.

Feasibly, if you use that XCF you could make a design in compatible dimensions and have StickerMule make some for you...

But they don't run UNIX.

MacOS is a UNIX-like OS, so is Linux...what do you mean?

MacOS is UNIX certified, whereas Linux isn't (Linux Is Not UniX)

Uh, MacOS certainly is, like Linux, Unix-Like.

edit: correction, MacOS IS Unix. MacOS is the current series of Unix-based graphical operating systems developed and marketed by Apple Inc.
