Don't panic, just continue with the installation -- it's a simple problem to fix later. Debian will now install a base system. This is a system with enough tools to get started, connect up to the Internet and download any additional software you need.

I would not be surprised if one of these days, Apple did not come out with a computer without any external connections. Power would be supplied either wirelessly or the device would have a built-in 2-3year battery that had to be replaced by a Fruitco tech when exhausted. That would be awful!oh waitI use Linuxsooo.NEVERMIND! I guess it just all depends on the user and their wants / needs.

I currently provide support to a commercial graphics business that uses Yosemite. Free video converter for mac. I am very happy with my Linux/iMac PC and recommend Linux as an excellent way to revive an old Apple desktop or laptop, especially models that have the i5 CPU or above.

Most of the drivers are preinstalled, and there will only be a few things you need to specifically seek out. Ubuntu’s default Unity surface also supports the high-DPI (HiDPI) Retina screens on Mac devices. It’s not yet perfect, but it works pretty well.

There’s a reason Ubuntu recommends just burning a disc.

But if OWC can successfully communicate to the average technical Mac user how and why to install and run lightweight Linux on 2008 and later MacBooks, MacBook Airs, and MacBook Pros — even dual-booting OS X/macOS, if desired! — why wouldn’t folks taking that route, also wish to upgrade such more productive “obsolete” Macs with OWC RAM, and their storage with OWC SSDs, and replace their batteries through OWC? That OWC hasn’t taken advantage of this market(ing) opportunity for so long, is completely baffling. Larry is usually more on top of these sort of things.* Unfortunately, so far, other laudable work aside — Mr. Sande doesn’t appear to be the man for that job.
