You find that transferring files can take ages with shitty I/O sceduler

because that shit actually cares about having your GUI going smoothly while transferring

this one gives two shits and just uses everything to transfer

You guys have any experience with installing OSX or linux on a macbook?

It will work but the bootloader for dual boot looks ugly, I used refid or something

Dont install linux

I recommend just using OSX on it

the new ones are free

It sucks battery like dong mongler

Mac uses nonfree battery optimisations that linux doesnt work with

Aha..

Unless you use a hard realtime kernel

Well, It's the old 2007-2008 macbook black.

I think it can only run Snow Leopard or Maverick.

I could be wrong, though.

Snew leper

snæw læpurd

I updated a snow leopart to Yosemite

but the drivers for touchepad said bye bye

What hardware did it have?

A nigger on a wheel

I did a clean install in CLI or something, hardware? No idea. a free macbook I got

Snow leopard to yosemite

Holy fucking shit what a mistake

It worked

Yeah

Just update it to Mavericks.

I would've done that.

but is that free?

Yosemite is buggiest and slowest of all macOs versions

I did some shit with the store to download it free and executed some stuff to wipe it clean

Well, I'm talking back in time

I wanted to just wipe it and update

Ofc now that that exists

but back then it didn't

Thos macbooks cannae run anything good. Best bet is buy a new battery and update to latest supported apple os

Update to mavericks if you can

Old macbooks don't do well on yosemite not even new ones do

They eventually fixed it on el capitan

Le Capitan.

why not update to el capitan
