fyi the 2008 macbook probably throttles the processor to around 1ghz when used without battery. on windows i could work around it by using some program to disable BD_PROCHOT(?), but failed to do so on linux.

Why though? I don’t like it personally but it’s my #1 recommendation usually. (can’t recommend slackware to noobs)

If they have issues they’re gonna ask me for tech support, and I don’t know how to use immutable distros (lol)
