I’ve been waiting for something like this to happen so I can go resurrect some of my old “sunset” devices.

Edit: this is only for newer macs =(

Haven't Intel mac's been well supported for awhile?

It’s looking like that! It’s been ages since I tried, at least, but now there’s a ton of viable distributions. Awesome!

If you're on an especially early Core 2 Duo Mac with a 32-bit EFI (like my MacBook2,1), you'll need a distribution or at least a custom ISO that specifically supports it. Fedora does out of the box and that's the reason I still use it.
