In summary, I have a 2007 24â iMac (2.16GHz IntelCore 2 Duo, 2GB SDRAM, 250GB Serial ATA Drive, NVIDIA GEFORCE) in good working condition that my grandchildren do no want because it is old and so I would like if possible to repurpose it into a Linux m/c. Iâve read articles on the web that claim it is possible, but the articles all seem to be followed by succession of comments/reviews from people who have failed. Can anyone please advise me on the feasibility/practicality of doing this and point me in the direction of a suitably authoritative article/tutorial etc on the way forward? From my previous attempts to run Windows on this computer, I don't think Bootcamp or VM s/w is going to be an effective way forward.
