Install Mint on 2010 Mac mini running OCLP? (lemmy.ca)

Hi, I'm quite new to Linux. I installed Mint Cinnamon recently on a Windows laptop. Impressed.

Question: I have a semi-retired 2010 Mac mini server (two HDDs in it) that is running OCLP and MacOS Monterey. It runs, but it crawls without an SSD. I use it for music playback and occasional web browsing (which is painful). I am wondering if Linux would run better, but would prefer to keep a dual boot with MacOS.

How doable is this? Any opinions on what version of Linux to install?

Specs: 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor 3MB on-chip shared L2 cache 1066MHz frontside bus 8GB of 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics processor with 256MB of DDR3 SDRAM Dual 500GB 7200-rpm Serial ATA hard disk

Now that’s interesting. Always thought it didn’t make a whole lot of sense strictly speaking. Never realized he intended the “a”.

June, 2008? Wtf man he’s had lots of time to grow up and change his views. Look at him. He’s a baby.

But anyway, I hope he doesn’t become PM regardless. He still seems like a shit.

Suggestions for good enough turntable (lemmy.ca)
 

Hey all, my wife is interested in a turntable that sounds good, but can take some punishment (i.e. kids can use it). I'm a lapsed audiophile, but never did invest seriously in vinyl. I went the SACD route (RIP).

Anyway, what would you recommend? Preferably under $500 CDN, so maybe we'd be looking at lightly used.
