I'm running OSX Yosemite on a 2006 Mac Pro 1,1. It wasn't too difficult once I had the correct boot.efi, and it works flawlessly. With an SSD, a minor CPU upgrade, and a recent video card it's nearly as fast as a 2013 Macbook Pro.
I'm thinking of switching it over to Linux though, I'm no longer happy with the direction in which Apple is headed, and I do nearly everything in the terminal and browser anyway.
- anonbanker 11y agoIf you do switch, look for a KDE-based distribution like Kubuntu or Antergos. you'll thank me later.
- emptyflask 11y agoI should give KDE another chance. Last time I tried it was like a decade ago.
- osxrand 11y agoRunning the same machine with Yosemite, no cpu upgrade but an SSD and video card upgrade. Thinking of putting new cpu's in as they are down to $35 for a pair, almost free at this point. Can't complain about the machine at all, going on 10 years now which is just awesome, and I do so love internal HD's on sleds.
