Hello guys.
First things first: forgive my ignorance, but it's been a very long long time since I used a Linux distro. And I haven't followed the Linux world for quite some time now, so I really don't know what the team/developers have been up to, throughout these years and the evolution of Linux itself. So, forgive me if I don't know or recall something.
Anyway, here's the deal. I have an old Mid 2010 17" Macbook Pro that was gifted to me by my boss as a job computer, that always only ran Snow Leopard 10.6, up until last year, when we all switched to Windows 10.
10.6 it's still a good solid OS, and the machine still runs beautifully, even if it is almost 10 years old. But the problem is that, now, many apps/plugins I used for work are no longer supported, as they require a more recent OS X version than 10.6. And even Google, and other open-source developers (such as Mozilla, VLC, Plex and Kodi, to name a few), have now stopped giving updates/support for older OS X versions. So i'm stuck with a "dull" OS, and some Apple Pro software (like the Final Cut Studio suite) and Logic Pro that I no longer use.
There's the possibility to update my machine to a more recent OS X version, of course. But that's definitely not an option, for me. After having read that on older machines High Sierra runs like s**t, even with an SSD drive and 8 GB of RAM, I definitely prefer to switch to another OS altogether and leave Apple behind.
I was thinking about installing either Windows 7 or 10 (for media creation/editing/job purposes) and was thinking about trying out either Ubuntu or Mint (for personal use). But I really don't know which version should I get, what's the most compatible distro for my hardware.
According to Ubuntu's Help Documentation, my machine should be run Precise Pargolin just fine

Code:

But I don't know how old is Pargolin and if it is any good than Mint or not.
Would like to hear some of your thoughts on this one.
Here's my system specs:

Thank you!

Precise Pangolin is from 2012, so no, don't use that. Use an up-to-date release.

You'd probably be better off with one of the Ubuntu "spins" that uses a lighter-weight desktop environment. Xbuntu uses XFCE, a very good desktop that uses less RAM than Ubuntu's default Gnome desktop.

Between Mint and Ubuntu, I'd recommend getting the latest live ISO for Xbuntu 18.04 LTS. That's the latest LTS (Long Term Release) version. Burn it to a DVD (or USB, if your older Mac supports booting from USB - it may not) and try it out in the Live session (it will be slow, especially off of a DVD - but it will be very snappy once it's installed to the HD). I think it will probably work just fine.

The file you want is the "64-bit PC (AMD64) desktop image" - found on the Xbuntu site.

Many thanks for your help.
I will definitely try out Xbuntu.
Meantime, I already installed Windows 7 Ultimate x64 for work apps (can't believe how snappy it runs, on this old machine, compared to Mac OS High Sierra, which feels way too clogged up and runs sluggish as fack). I still have 250 GB of free space.
I plan on installing Xbuntu on that unpartitioned space.
Will let you know if I will have some problems.

Thanks so much for your help

I'm not a Linux guru or anything, but I've been using it exclusively for 6 years now, as well as "sampling" it peroidically since the late 90s. I currently run Arch, Manjaro, and Debian.

One thing about Linux - it's a good idea to familiarize oneself with the forum for whatever distro you run. Check in often, and read, read, read. It's amazing how much you learn doing this!

Happy Linuxing!

Linux mint mate 18 user here. i migrated over a few years ago, and hardly ever use windows anymore. I think ubuntu mate is the flavor that is most used by former mac users. When i look back, i had to google alot to find out how to do things that i used to do in windows and then to find out about the applications that i wanted to use like paint and fast stone. I borked the OS a few times, but it was nothing that couldn't be overcame and learned from. The way mac OS is pissy about OS updates (trying to force users to buy new units, i suppose) i can understand how linux really fits the desired result. Freedom form these two OS publishers tyrannical tactics was liberating for me, but it comes with baggage.

Thanks man! Already done that!

Now I have 3 OSes installed on the Mac: OS X 10.6.8 (because I still have licenses for both DTS-HD MA Suite as well as Dolby Media Producer that might come in handy to encode/remux/decode audio projects), Windows 7 for general work purposes and Linux 18.10 for personal use.
It's all working good.
I only had a problem installing the latest NVIDIA driver available for the 330m GT GPU. But a Google search solved that

Still have to work my way with the new environment, as it's been a very while since I used Linux. But i'm happy as how snappy it really is, so far.

Have to agree completely with OhMyMy,

I'm not a Linux guru either but I have been using Mint Cinnamon almost entirely now for about two years (I do dual boot with Win 7 though for a few apps I need). I really like Mint but the main reason I switched to it (from Win 7) was that Cinnamon was the easiest to acclimate to. It was so similar to Windows I could just install it and go. Not all that much in depth learning needed.

Haven't used the Apple OS much in years so I doubt your experience will be the same.

Good luck.
