Ask Slashdot: What's the Fastest Linux Distro for an Old Macbook 7,1?
Long-time Slashdot reader gr8gatzby writes: I have an old beautiful mint condition white Macbook 7,1 with a 2.4Ghz Core 2 Duo and 5GB RAM. Apple cut off the upgrade path of this model at 10.6.8, while a modern-day version of any browser requires at least 10.9 these days, and as a result my browsing is limited to Chrome version 49.0.2623.112.
So this leaves me with Linux. What is the fastest, most efficient and powerful distro for a Mac of this vintage?
It's been nearly eight years since its release, so leave your best thoughts in the comments. What's the best Linux distro for an old Macbook 7,1?

You're clearly a novice computer user and an idiot. I have used SystemD in a production environment for the last 3 years and it works beautifully once the new system has been learned. It boots faster since it doesn't load processes in a serial fashion so you are extremely wrong there.
At least learn a bit about what you are talking about before you open your mouth on Slashdot.
