I have a 27" late 2015 iMac with i5 processor and 16 GB of RAM. It runs El
Capitan just fine after wiping the drive and doing an Internet install.
I guess you are aware, that you can install the latest MacOS Ventura on your device using
OpenCore Legacy Patcher (
https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/MODELS.html)?
It worked fine for me.
This would make a fabulous Fedora workstation! However, I have had
trouble
getting Fedora installer to run much at all.
I have an F38 install ISO dd'd to a thumb disk. On my Dell laptop, the
installer starts fine.
When I put the thumb disk on the iMac and hold <alt> during boot, I see "EFI
Boot" without issue., but every attempt I've tried to get it to boot or start
into the installer has failed.
Is there anybody here who has had success loading/running Fedora 37/38 on
Intel iMacs?
I did so some time ago with an even older iMac 27“ (2009 or 2010) using the Server
install media. It worked fine.
What install media did you try?
I’ve an iMac 27“ 2012 and 2013 around waiting to be reused with Fedora. Hopefully I can
manage to try this weekend.
