Someone gifted me with some old iPad that's more than 10 years old. What steps should I take to install Linux on the iPad?
@cyclohexane Is there any risk for me to try installing Linux on my MacBook (intel) and are there specific distros that run better on a macbook?
Check compatibility first. Some of em need a binary blob network driver that certain distros don’t ship by default. But yeah you can run Linux on Macs pretty good. What mb do you have and I can give better input?

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.
