It took me this whole time, but I finally made it! 😺

The old iMac is now running Linux Mint!

I am not very experienced with Linux, so this was really tricky for me!

The winning approach in the end was roughly:

• Install latest Linux Mint from USB

• Boot Live System from USB again

• Manually install 32-bit EFI from Live System

Thank you @mikeTesteLinux @eliteamdgamer @corse_pia @colin for the tips and encouragement! 🧡

It's not perfect, though, there are some small display errors (at first I thought they were dead pixels), but it does not bother me that much.

Now I am thinking about upgrading the iMac with an SSD and more RAM. 🙂
