Do you have an intel iMac or MacBook that Apple no longer supports? Well breath new life into it by installing Linux!
You can try it out using live USB to see what works and what does not. As an example, we recently installed DeLinuxCo on a 2011 iMac and it works great! The only item that we did not test was the IR remote.

You may need to install a fan control application called mbpfan-git from the AUR in order to silence the fans of the iMac or Laptop.

Boot to the USB drive, usually holding the “Option” key at boot should allow you to boot from the USB drive.
If needed, upon installing DeLinuxCo, from a terminal run “yay mbpfan-git” and install the package. mbpfan setup…

A new version of DeLinuxCo is out!

Change log:

• New icon theme
• Shutter is back!
• ICE-SSB Removed, Chrome & Chromium no longer
  play nice.
• Cinelerra is now packaged as an AppImage
• Kernel 5.12
• New simple wallpaper
• Improved fonts

The DeLinuxCo repository is broken, if order to update your system, you may have to edit /etc/pacman.conf using sudo nano /etc/pacman.conf and comment the [delinuxco-dev] repository like the image below.

For the last 6 months very little development has occurred on this little project. We have decided not to abandon the project and will be moving forward. A short list of things to do:

Fix repo.delinuxco.com
Update ISO to latest Manjaro
Update Cinelerra to new Appimage format
Make Shutter the default screenshot editor again

Release notes

Screenshot tools – Ksnip has been removed, Shutter is no longer shipped in DeLinuxCo It is recommended to install Shutter from AUR (The Git version).

rebuild-detector comes pre-installed. Every time yay is run, there is a hook to check if any AUR packages need to be rebuilt and will list them.

A new wallpaper, Horizon was added
