I am amazed

[hugh]

I have here a 2010 11" MacBook Air, and I am absolutely amazed that Mint 20 Cinnamon is up and running fine, on a 1.4GHz Core 2 Duo with only 2GB RAM

I suppose it all relates to your expectations on performance, but honestly I am very happy with this system, and just wanted to thank all the devs for the great work

I was running Mac OS Snow Leopard and Mint 19.3 32 bit, but finally managed to get over Apple's 64 bit blocking and boot the Mint 20 installer.

Cheers

Hugh

Hello
I just installed Linux Mint on Macbook Air yesterday. Absolutely no issues. So, must thank the smart developers! It is working like a charm!
See the attached details! Even the SD-card reader is working fine!!!
I am amazed too!
