Well that’s not confusing at all

Interesting, thanks for that perspective.

So if the wireless card draws too much power it won’t be visible?

I was able to get audio working with this

What does power management have to do with wireless cards?

I got a free iMac

How do you do that?

Well the Wifi on Mint worked out of the box but the cursor would flash in and out, the audio didn’t work, Steam wouldn’t launch and my webcam was constantly lit up for some reason.

Unfortunately the audio outputs are not detected, the cursor blinks and disappears constantly, Steam wouldn’t launch, and my camera is activated constantly for some reason…

😔

I already know all of that.

Turns out Mint works just fine out of the box 😀

That sounds pretty straightforward, I’ll give that a shot, thanks!

Ubuntu is literally the only distro that I object to LOL but I will give Linux Mint Ubuntu a try on this machine. I haven’t tried it before.

if there’s another distro that works “out of the box” on Macs with GNOME I’d be open to installing that as well.

Mint requires installing the proprietary drivers after installation, which is easy to do.

I could do that. I’ve never actually tried Mint before. Do you have a link or instructions?

This is for Ubuntu

I know how to use rpm-ostree but thank you.

I don’t use Google.

Saying “use a search engine” is not helpful. I’ve already done that.

dnf does not.

Yeah its a 2017 27"

I’m not using Fedora.
