Is there a fix for older OSX or should I just install Linux on my 2011 iMac? Yosemite is already quite slow. OpenSuSE 13.2 was really fast on a same generation

Is there a fix for older OSX or should I just install Linux on my 2011 iMac? Yosemite is already quite slow. OpenSuSE 13.2 was really fast on a same generation Mac Mini.
- etatoby 8y agoGo ahead. After trying many options I settled on XUbuntu. But any of them will do. To bad, I liked the older OS Xes.

Your 2011 iMac can be update to 10.13, so I would update, a iMac 2011 with enough ram and a ssd works very well even on 10.13.
