I was busy and didn't get to see any of the WWDC keynote but, in any event, wasn't overly interested. It's always nice to keep on top of iOS updates but, as I won't be switching back to an iPhone in the foreseeable future, not overly relevant.
I'm more interested in MacOS updates so it's a shame to see that only 2017 and newer devices will support the latest version. I have a mid 2015 MacBook Pro so will now be stuck on MacOS 12. There's no way I can afford to replace it.
I had already put Chrome OS Flex on my 2015 MacBook Air as it was struggling with MacOS and am considering a switch to Linux instead – I'm looking at various distros but haven't made any decisions yet. On my radar thus far are Pop!_OS, Zorin OS and CuteFish on Ubuntu.
The choice of distro was taken out of my hands. CuteFish wouldn't boot when installed – even though it ran fine from a USB stick. Elementary OS installed but suffered from the issue many flavours of Linux do on older Apple hardware: an issue with Broadcom drivers means WiFi doesn't work. Despite following a few different guides I couldn't work around it.
Next up was Zorin OS Core. Somewhat surprisingly, this installed, booted and had working drivers. So this is what I'm sticking with for now. If it works out I may upgrade to the Pro version with different desktop layouts.
I may loop back to CuteFish in the future, once it has gone through a few more iterations, as that is the one I really wanted to try but Zorin was a close second. It's just a shame you can't get the MacOS look without going Pro.
