Ari Gardens as a Verb (arisummerland@beige.party)'s status on Sunday, 15-Sep-2024 08:34:35 JST Ari Gardens as a Verb
Hey, everyone, I've got a #computer question!
Can I convert a 2014 #MacBook Air into... something else, like some kind of #Linux... ummm... thingy?
Or is it best just wiped and recycled somewhere? ☹️
I know. I'm setting myself up for reply guys, trolls being called a noob or worse, etc. But I really want to know if it's possible to do something useful with it besides yeet it into the sun.
I also know this place is rife with Linux users.
Do not worry! I have newer computers (2022ish), but... I loathe throwing stuff away, especially after #Apple has stopped supporting it (thus, the 1997 1400 CS sitting in my garage for which I bought a "new" motherboard recently…).
Anyway, I'm just gonna leave this here and come back tomorrow to see if there are any useful replies. Have fun!
