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?

Damore's screed is so bad, the only argument left to fans is spurious claims that "you didn't read it".
Until apple realises that users are never going to upgrade firmware manually it will never be the year of the Apple desktop.
But seriously? And people claim Linux is hard to use??

OK the inevitable mod-shredding it more than entirely fair.
