I really enjoy your content as it has helped spark my new hobby, programming, which I love so much. Enjoying the videos so far! Good luck from Lithuania!

I literally did this same exact upgrade earlier this year when the COVID lockdown first happened. I decided to put Ubuntu on mine and discovered that the most recent version that has an installer compatible with this Mac Mini is the 2014 version. So, I installed the 2014 version, then upgraded to 2016, then upgraded to 2018, which is where the machine currently stands.

[@PCgamingHD14]

Aaa amazing, perfect for web browsing and word?

[@doseofl0s]

Assuming you installed a Core2Duo: There’s Linux ISO’s that can install 64-bit versions on Macs with 64-bit processors but 32-bit EFI. Might be worth a shot. Google “Matt Gadient Linux ISO” and it should be the top result. Running Mint 20 on my C2D MacBook thanks to that iso

[@jeffreyborg]

That’s the same as the original intel Mac Pro. Have one of those and now it’s just my Linux pc. Just the 32bit efi weirdness.

[@solarbirdyz]

Yep. Upgraded 64-bit Core 2 Duo processor, firmware upgrade, maxxed out RAM (4G, 3G usable), 2T SSD, and now it's _our_ plex server.

[@MJ-uk6lu]

It supports latest elementary linux

[@EvilTurkeySlices]

My first Mac is a 2006 iMac I hit recently. I did pretty much the same upgrades to it as he did to this Mac mini, although it has a 500gb desktop hard drive instead of an SSD. It also has windows XP installed trough bootcamp.

Absolutely amazing restoration Psivewri... we love your videos!!! Please don’t stop uploading restoration videos of old electronic videos like this... in the future we won’t be able to upgrade or restore electronics like this because due to the lack of upgradeability, please try to find an older HP laptop to upgrade and restore... would make a cool video and change up your content up a bit. We would love it! Have a great rest of your night.

The Core Duo is a cool processor in that it's almost like the ultimate development of the Pentium 3.... It's essentially a dual-core version of the Pentium M, itself a revamped P6 architecture chip. Conroe borrowed from it also, but it's much more different from the Pentium 3 than is Yonah.

This was an awesome video! I have one of these, and I have also bought a CPU etc, and was planning on doing this to mine. I would love for you to make another video about seeing what the newest OS you could get to work on it was and how you'd do that. Keep up the great work

[@SalvoDan]

I would stick with Snow Leopard. Loin doesn’t add that much capability and Rosetta is a must-have for a vintage intel Mac.

[@kc9scott]

Plus in 10.7 they got rid of the scroll arrows. Agree with you on Rosetta.

[@ians4564]

Great work there buddy! Loved the new video you had put up about the Mac Mini. I had a similar problem with an old 2009 iMac when it came to upgrading the MacOS on there. What I had done was downloaded the .DMG image of one of the MacOSes that you can get for free online and do an in-place upgrade to the MacOS directly onto it. As it worked for me and was able to get to High Sierra in the end, hopefully it should work out for you too!

My friend has one of these and after installing certain software, I noticed that one of my Thinkpads running the same software with a slower CPU, same / similiar chipset and RAM etc performed WAY better. Not sure why but the Apple Mini was struggling and it was using a fresh operating install too.

[@Piipperi800]

I also have a Mac Mini I recently upgraded to a T7200 as they're dirt cheap. I really just use it as a file server tho. It also has a 240 GB SSD for some reason lol Btw this is how to install 10.7: 1. erase drive with 2 partitions (make sure you install 10.7 on the first partition so you can remove the second one later as we're going to use it for a temp install of 10.6), optionally you can use TDM and a second Mac to do this too. 2. Install 10.6 on the second partition (skip if using TDM) 3. Make a 10.7 USB installer and delete PlatformSupport.plist from /System/Library/CoreServices from the USB drive you created (the file might be in another location but tbh I don't remember where) 4. Install 10.7 5. Boot into 10.6 or TDM and delete PlatformSupport.plist from /System/Library/CoreServices from the 10.7 installation 6. enjoy
