Sorry probably nothing for the pro’s on here but man, I am so excited to climb off of the macOS on this old MacBook Air 2015 and breathe new FOSS life into it.

My brother and father have been using Blender 3D for years and my sister got her first job as a designer using Inkscape!

So here’s to a “mint-y” fresh Linux MacBook Air! :-D
