As per title, I am mind-blown by the speed and stability of NixOS on this “relic” in IT terms… On this machine i tested:

Distro Performance
Fedora MEGA slow
Ubuntu OKish
LDME Fast
Debian Fast
NixOS VERY Fast

And the best thing is that I can bring this config with me on any computer! Oh boy, I think i have fallen in love with NixOS

    Very easy to flash Linux on an intel based Mac ;)

        I haven’t done extensive testing, but I never had any issues installing Linux on my 2012 and 2013 macbook pros. Same exact process.

        not at all, it exactly the same process. Same level of difficulty. Given you do it on an intel Mac, Mx series are a royal pain
