Abiword and Gnumeric launched in less than two seconds. Firefox, Vivaldi, Dissenter and Opera are all available in Quickpet. And sweet Mary with 6 GB of RAM I'm not exaggerating when I say it feels like I'm on a core i5 at least!ĭefault browser is Palemoon, but I installed Chromium (83) from Quickpet and after installing ublock and h264ify I was happily watching 720p youtube in the browser using 35% CPU. While in the past in Bionic, Xenial or Tahrpups I usually had to fiddle around with wifi, sound or video drivers in Focal I'm happy to report everything worked sweetly out of the box, except right click, still haven't figured that out. I've had all kinds of problems in the past with this macbook recognizing or booting Linux created USB's but not this one. I recently download focalfossa (ubuntu 20.04 'based') 64 bit and created a Live USB using dd in MX Linux, then booted off it on the macbook. Another VERY viable option for modern web browsers/software on old Macs is the lightweight Puppy Linux.
