Description

This is a **13-inch MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2014)** that’s been repurposed to run **Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon**, a user-friendly, open-source operating system that’s free of Apple and Google ecosystems. It’s perfect for anyone looking for a dependable computer for everyday use without the distractions of corporate tracking or proprietary software. Apple has incentivized the use of open source operating systems on their older machines by no longer pushing updates for them despite the robustness and elegance of their hardware.

With its **Intel Core i5 processor**, **8GB of RAM**, and **128GB SSD**, this laptop is ideal for tasks like web browsing, word processing, and light productivity work, but also handles all my Rockwell automation software on windows through a virtual machine (not included). The installation of Linux Mint is fresh and clean—I’ve only added **VirtualBox** for those who want to run Windows easily, and **BleachBit** for system cleanup and privacy management.

This machine isn’t marketed as a high-powered workstation—it’s a solid, reliable laptop that’s built to last. I personally use the same model daily, and its performance has been dependable and smooth and its all I need.

If you’re someone looking for a simple, de-Googled and de-Mac’d system that’s easy to use, this computer will fit perfectly into your life.

Includes power adapter
