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?
[re-sending to the mailing list; bad web mail client]
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.
