I added a Linux install to one of my still perfect MacBook Airs stuck on High Sierra. DosDude and OCLP worked, but the 4GB is too anemic for long-term satisfaction.

ZorinOS has a Mac-like UX and runs like a demon! On the MacBook Air, everything is supported out of the box! Even the special keys for screen brightness, etc. And it just sips that battery.

I am very impressed.

Anyone with an idea how to keep watching netflix on 10.11?
Seems like a DRM issue and wants to update the browser, but none of the major ones still support 10.11?
I don't have Netflix but suggest you try the Firefox Extended Support Release. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-desktop-esr. Works fine with my MacPro 1,1 running the hacked ElCap and have had no issues with it running video through the web; TCM/WatchTCM, for instance.

Looked into it and would like to make it work. What version did you use? Seems the problem with installing could be the cMP 1,1's 32-Bit EFI..
