Can Linux Save a 16 Year Old iMac?

Today we’re installing the latest Ubuntu Linux on the very first aluminum iMac, which is over 15 years old! We’ll also see if we can upgrade the CPU, and stick an SSD in there. I’m sure it’s going to come apart real nice and easy-like…

We’ll also try to run Windows games with Steam Proton!

Thanks @BranchusCreations for the cameo!
