arch linux - it's okay, but they will break things without question sometimes
gentoo - it's pretty nice, works great on a low end machine, it would probably be fine for something like a gaming rig
debian - tried and tested it works and is pretty good, despite everything throughout the years

the machine i do some more graphically intensive stuff on is running arch but i want to get it on windows 10 soon, but 10 will be dead next year, so i wonder what i'll put on it then
@eric besides, i don't even want to use it anyway, that's why i'm considering distro options for next year

@eric @kirby
It's even worse at this point, with Windows hardware you can at least get something that has a viable migration path, with Mac you are confined to that thing that looks like horse's ass and requires disabling SIP in single-user mode to install curl.
Oh, wait, you can also have Fedora with reverse-engineered drivers 😂

@m0xee @eric theyll eventually get gentoo on it. maybe. maybe i should just buy a refurbished intel mac

That might be a good idea actually! Even used one — if someone was using it for some time and it didn't fail, it probably came without factory defects and it would probably keep working. I won't go for soldered-in storage though — I'm not sure later models had that, but Apple loves such shit, and these things wear down.
