From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

That is what I’m using on a 2012 MacBook Pro with some upgrades.
It works really well except for when there is an update to the wifi broadcom drivers. Then I have to use my phone to provide internet through USB.
Otherwise it’s a beast but gaming is out of the question.
Why is gaming out of the question?
I tried running Frostpunk 1 on the MacBook Pro 2012 (upgraded with an SSD and 16gb of Ram) and it wouldn’t boot despite the fact that it’s an old game and that I tried some special settings and commands.
I guess you can still play some games on ot, but many are out of reach, even some of the ones you’d think would be playable..
