As per title, have you experienced any distro on this device? Currently torn between mint/Debian or just vanilla Debian

    I have to research that first 😂 but it’s one that has a AMD grafic card that runs on readon driver which seems to not support suspend if booted from EFI if understood that linked threat correctly. Some macs have nvidia grafic card, which don’t work at all, if you boot Linux from EFI. So I guess it’s ideal to boot Linux on any older mac via legacy bios instead of modern EFI.

      Oh yeah forgot about Nvidia!!! Is that tricky to get to work on Debian? Possibly easier on Mint LMDE

        I don’t know Debian really, i heard that the kernel is somewhat old, but if you use the proprietary drivers anyway, It should not matter
