I had installed Mint onto my Mac and it worked OK but after an update Mint would not even load. Thought I would strip the Mac of its OS and go completely with Linux. I watched some videos and it looked easy enough. Would not work. I then tried to remove Linux by removing the partition and Disk Utility did not work as it should. My question is what to do now? What is the best distribution for a MacBook Pro 13, mid 2009? I am not a sophisticated user and mainly use social media, Youtube and SketchUp for drafting. In the future I may try CNC and 3D printing. I do want to remove Apple OS completely as presently it's unsupported and I tend to use it a crutch.
