You can put linux on the older Macs. I have 2015 Macbook with Debian and everything works very smoothly.

I have the exact same lid behavior on my HP laptop running Arch Linux.

replyYou do know the reason the Mac goes to sleep when you close the lid is because of the OS right?
replyIt doesn’t matter why it works to anyone but geeks
