I want to fully replace the current ios 13 install, and looking for encouragement before wiping the disk.
It’s a nice computer, just chugging some with ios 13, and a live boot Ubunbtu 24.04.1 LTS seemed way snappier. PLUS Ubuntu is my distro in main use now, too.
ANYONE RUNNING 24.04 ON A 2017/2018 IMAC 21.5"?
TIA!!!
If it works there’s a possible RAM and SSD upgrade in the works…
