For some reason, I don't think the supreme court would agree with that figure.

The main problem I see you running into is that if they decide for any reason to go after you (even just cause now they want your domain), it won't matter if they have a solid legal standing or not. They can afford to tie you up in court indefinitely, and you will likely be unable to outlast them.

Source: This is exactly what happened to my family. We have the same last name as a large corporation, and in the early days of the internet we registered a domain based on a name-related slogan they had used in an older commercial compaign. We were just hosting a basic family website and email, and clearly had no conflicting or overlapping IP. We even checked in advance - they did not own a trademark for the slogan or the name.

A few years later, they decided the wanted the domain for themelves, but instead of offering us a fair price to purchase, they first filed a trademark for the slogan and then sued us for the domain. If we'd had the funds to continue fighting we would have eventually won, but we're just a middle class family and they're a large multi-national corporation with near infinite funds to pay their lawyers. We lost the domain, and it cost us a small fortune in legal fees fighing it.

Proceed with caution.

If for personal access only, ZeroTier might solve your use case.

I can't answer for Mint specifically, but I'm running kubuntu on a similar 2012 MacBook Pro and it runs great for just an old i5 (16 GB ram with an SSD really helps a lot). More importantly, all the Apple hardware is fully supported, right down to the keyboard & screen brightness buttons, volume buttons, etc. Runs way better than macOS ever did.

Thanks for your service! I've been trying out Thunder and I'm generally happy with it so far.
