I finally got around to giving my old Surface Laptop 2 a second life with Linux. I went with Linux Mint Cinnamon Edition, and I’m really glad I did.

Nah, they actually are pretty happy with it. If they want a MacOS, they can save up a buy it. Good for now.

Actually 2013 & 2015 Airs. Yeah, was a great deal.

And I got both the built-in wifi and the camera to work. Steps in my post. Items 6 & 7.

How do you lure your kids off iPhones?
Give them MacBooks…running a "cool" version of Linux. Snagged 2 old Airs for just €50 each.
Wiped macOS, & installed @elementary - a clean, distro that feels familiar to macOS users but comes with a lot less bloat. 
Now they’ve got "cool" Apple gear, with the the rich world of #Linux that respects their freedom and sparks curiosity.
