Why? It was an Intel Mac. They can even boot windows.

At one point I triple booted my laptop with Ubuntu, Windows 7 and OSX mostly just to prove I could. Weird times, a lot has changed since then.

I did the same on a PC I built like 10 years ago just because "why not?" 🤣

Just seemed odd to pay your way into the Apple ecosystem just to wipe it and install Ubuntu

Oh, that. Yes. I can’t fathom using Apple hardware outside of the Apple ecosystem unless that machine if EOL. But never for windows haha.

It’s really nice hardware. And for some segments of the market, it’s not even particularly expensive compared to alternatives of similar build quality.

Yeah I think they needed horsepower to run some sophisticated models in Matlab, and Apple had a killer educational discount.
