My desktop PC broke and I got this Mac Mini 2014 second-hand, not really knowing exactly what I was getting. After OS installation, I found out it's MacOS Sierra and can't be upgraded, so I was thinking of installing MX Linux on it. Did anybody install MX Linux on a Mac Mini? Was it a smooth process ...
