WiFi and webcam don't work out of the box, but it's an old MacBook so I wasn't expecting much. The color scheme is surprisingly well done.
Is there a driver installer app?

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.

Well, I thought the thing on Commodore OS I saw just today was pretty cool. So I guess I can't pan this too much.
Commodore os is fricken sweet dude. If I'd had that shit as a kid I'd have been flooored
so... kde with a pink scheme?
EDIT: Yeah. source even says it's Debian+ KDE + Pink
EDIT2 : @DickFiasco@sh.itjust.works , the webcam stuff is on you, it's basically debian. use debian solutions for your particular macbook/webcam and it should work.
Or just get Asahi linux and slap a pink KDE theme/the theme/branding for HM linux on that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asahi_Linux
EDIT3 : Just install this and call it a day : https://store.kde.org/p/2362661
That’s an Intel MacBook, no Asahi.
When I set up Linux on my wife's MacBook it took two hours to find all the instructions on how to do it AND the files needed to do it. Had to use 4 different instruction sets because all 4 left out some steps.
So yeah, MacBook webcam functionality is on the installer/user, but it's not always easy to figure out how to do it if you've never done it before.
Yeah unfortunately the new one doesn't skip their neck out. I'd like way more pink
sudo Montanactl status
They're still going at it??
No, it's a spiritual reincarnation
PonyOS or bust.
Bust. You. For bringing ponies back from the dead. Leave that cringe in the past.
Ngl, I would rock that on a backup device.
But a PowerpuffOS? Now that is a daily driver steeped in chemical X
I'm loving their reviews section at the bottom.
