Comment on Distro for upgrading a 15 year old Mac?

That’s fair, but since OP doesn’t have the machine to immediately check the model number, and 2010 is within spitting distatof 2012, I figured I’d provide some additional info, just in case.
That said, a 2010 machine would be fairly ancient. But then again, it’s 2026 and DDR3 is somehow relevant again…

Pretty much only the very first year of Intel Macs had 32 bit EFIs. Coincidentally the only 2007 machine with a 32 bit EFI was the Mac Pro. But the 07 Mac Pro was basically identical to the OG 06.

Yes, the fuckwit is right.
(I just wanted to say that.)
