To be fair I haven't tried this even though it's what I use on my PC. I don't want to install a rolling-release because I'm not the person who will use it. Though I'll try live ISO out of curiousity.

Hmm, same adapter then. Haven't tried LMDE to be fair, but would it really be different from regular Mint regarding drivers?
No problem! :)
Nvidia. It's always Nvidia.
While some distros let you choose short passwords, most of them don't nowadays. However, you can still change your user's password despite to this. Just open terminal, type sudo passwd username, type your desired password and enter. This way you can even use one character passwords, you really shouldn't though.
I was able to rescue GRUB from memory 10 years ago.
Thanks for the reply! Currently it seems to be fixed with blacklisting but we'll see if there will be any issues. Someone else mentioned that Mint can install required drivers on its drivers program (by connecting the Macbook via phone tethering).
Could you perhaps check which adapter your Macbook has? The one we have has BCM4360.
Is your wi-fi adapter also BCM4360? That's the one this Macbook has and no distro recognized it including Mint. Though this Macbook has i5, maybe they're kinda different?
Yeah, I noticed that too. Though the reason I haven't installed it was that I already installed specifically a immutable distro because of the person who will use it. However I also tried Mint as a live ISO to see if that has the driver pre-installed, it didn't. Later I thought, if this is the same proprietary driver, distro choice won't matter. Then I found about blacklisting.
That's a sikh painting.
Ah yes, the infamous go-rs.
That's interesting. I'll try this. It's also good on the long run because it's a slow update system like Debian, I can think this as an alternative to what I initially planned with an immutable distro.
