WiFi issue with iMac

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.

I could do that. I've never actually tried Mint before. Do you have a link or instructions?
From memory….
If you open Driver Manager after installation it will say you need to either connect to Ethernet or insert the installation USB. Using the Installation USB is fine.
It should then automatically detect you have a Broadcom WiFi module and just give you a checkbox you can click next to the correct driver.
It will install the driver from the USB, say you need to restart and then you should be done! Upon rebooting your Mac should immediately recognise available WiFi networks and let you join them.
Turns out Mint works just fine out of the box 😀
Amazing!
That distro is highly deserving of the praise it gets.
Hope you get on ok with the rest of Mint (and Cinnamon) 👍
Unfortunately the audio outputs are not detected, the cursor blinks and disappears constantly, Steam wouldn't launch, and my camera is activated constantly for some reason...
😔
I was able to get audio working with this

That sounds pretty straightforward, I'll give that a shot, thanks!
