I'm guessing "fairly" is doing a lot of heavy lifting. :)

Swapping out the spinning HD for an SSD is a must. I'd also want at
least 8 GB of RAM. How much does that old MacBook have? Is the memory
even upgradeable?

It's working well enough when apps are loaded. Browsing, spreadsheets, etc. I'm not familiar with the OS and only had an M1 as a comparison, so it's hard for me to judge. Everything's slow compared to Linux, so yeah it's sluggish.

16GB RAM, I'm not sure if it was upgraded.
