From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Mac OS X was installed in 2010/2011. Back when people didn’t hate Apple.
Oh I see. I don't hate apple, it just seemed like an extremely bad choice to install it now on a 15yo device. Or bad taste to have mock boot screen.
But this is fascinating.
Does it work?
It seems like I woke it up from a decade-long hibernation and is unable to boot. However, the disk reads fine in an enclosure.
OK. Does it get to BIOS? Have you opened a dedicated thread for fixing this?
