Hi guys, I was gifted a free iMac (Intel core 2 duo) from a retired nasa engineer in his 90s (he even worked on the atom bomb!) and I was wondering if it is worth anything or if I should keep it and try to put Linux on it.

He forgot the password and I had to do some things in the terminal to get around it. So far, everything looks to be in working order. I have never owned a Mac or Apple products in general so I am kinda out of my element here lol

      Do you think that would be worth doing for an i3 that I can’t seem to throw away? I don’t know why the fuck anyone would ever buy an i3.

        Sure… Heck you could even put some older steam games on it but… Older. As a smart TV or even a firewall or router it would be fine.
