the dose dude method you can read all about it and get every thing you need hear at this link, so easy and so fast just do every thing the instructions say to do and you will be good to go. 10,13 dispite what apple says is 100% compatible with unsupported macs https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/macos-high-sierra-10-13-unsupported-macs-thread.2048478/

Great - thanks! I tried downloading the High Sierra installer, but I can’t get the App Store to give me the full version, so I’ll just try his Mojave patcher.
you have to download it via the high siria patchier. the app store wont let you but the patchier will. Mojave is not 100% yet so keep that in mind. i do have it installed on mine though lol. hears the discussions for mojave https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/macos-10-14-mojave-on-unsupported-macs-thread.2121473/
If you want Linux for that machine, give MX Linux a try. Very nice fully-featured desktop, good hardware compatibility and a great community.
I’ve recently installed openSUSE Leap 15 onto my MacBook Pro ( 2013 ) and all is working so may be worth a try of that.
openSUSE includes a fairly stock and not tweaked version of GNOME that seems to work well.
