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.

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

    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.

    same here w my macbooks almost 10 years ago.

    now deepseek will give you copy/paste-able instructions in a few seconds; the future is now. lol

    To be honest, I'm just running HML as a live image from a USB drive. This computer normally runs Arch. I got the webcam working when I first installed Arch, but it broke at some point and I haven't had the energy to fix it. The AUR has the proprietary firmware, and drivers are part of the kernel, so I'm not sure what the issue is.
