It's #BlueFriday and let's celebrate by doing something good for the planet. The most eco-friendly device is still the one you already own!

Install GNU/Linux and run new & old HW more efficiently and for longer, reducing the disproportionate #carbon footprint from device production.

Donate the savings to #KDE and #FOSS projects to show your love for all the amazing things we achieve when we work together:

I'm not sure I understand the problem correctly, but couldn't you reinstall MacOS, get whatever you need from it, then install your preferred distro?

It is a bit finicky, but possible to create a MacOS installer without access to a working Mac, here's how on Windows and Linux

Work system, have to return it next year for the new cycle but they just wipe it - which I already did (oops) and to reinstall I'd need a reinstall key (and don't want the hassle, already tried).

Thanks, I'll check that out! I'll take finicky over bricked, at this point it's just to see if I can get it to work for a couple months ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
