Meaning that your distro of choosing comes with most of the stuff bundled in…?

I have installed LMDE in a 2013 iMac. This distro rocks. I am expecting it to run just as smoothly on your iMac, even if a bit older. Whatever you decide to do, install an SSD on it and then… enjoy!
This does sounds useful!

LMDE is really great. Just migrated an old 2013 iMac to it today. Everything works out of the box. Everything easy like you can expect from Mint and stable like on Debian. Difficult not to love.
The only thing you have to like is Cinnamon.
Man, I feel you. Sometimes you just want to get on with your life without babysitting the OS. Debian will stay out of your way and just work. Enjoy it!
I wish you a very nice weekend to you as well!
Just to add some extra detail, apparently if you look for clothes/shoes the ads are actually legit in the sense that they will just have a display on g@@gle but, if you do want to purchase, clicking will then take you to H&M or what have you. It has been years that ads are non existent for me so I got used to look for the sites where I want to shop but… she taught me that certain people use ads to discover stuff…
Yes, I also had a positive experience with Ubuntu on a 2012 MacBook Air :)
Just finished the install :) everything worked out of the box with Mint. What an absolute pleasure!
Yeah, the idea is something simple and stable. Stable because I don’t want to babysit the OS (I already do that at work), and simple so my wife can also use it in case of need. She only know windows so anything the comes close in terms of UI is “ok” for her. The real choice was between KDE or cinnamon. Eventually opted for Mint/Debian
Is the problem of outdated packages still a thing now that you can get them all via Flatpacks?
Concerning the kernel, again, can you always benefit from the latest one? Personally I am starting to appreciate not having to constantly update the OS while at the same time enjoying the latest software. Concerning apt packages, those in the Debian repo will just work like clockwork
