Conversely I have a dell xps from 2018 that run very well with fedora atomic (kde). I upgraded the SSD, WiFi card and replaced the battery. Should easily last me another 5 years
User repairability and serviceability should be(come) mandatory!
It's Intel, you too can have fedora atomic, and it'll likely last another 5 years.
If it would be my device and not a gift I would, yeah :)
Ahh, not so sure how great a gift an insecure computer is, but I imagine you have your reasons...
Uhm how would be it insecure?
OS hasn't been updated for how many years?
My bad, I didn't read 'built a macOS 13 installer', but now they must return for 'built a macOS 14 installer'.
For some strange reason the control panel shows the update to macOS 14 even though when it was still on macOS 12 it didn't show any updates.
I told the giftee if they want to update that they please make a backup first.
