   I'm aware that you have a very wide knowledge base and have never, as   
   far as I'm aware, misled me in any way.   
      
   I'm currently running Linux Mint 22.2 on my old (2009) 24 inch iMac and   
   it works just fine.   
      
   I've set up my 27 inch iMac as a dual boot arrangement as macOS Ventura   
   is the most up-to-date I can now install on this 2017 iMac.   
      
   However, when I last started up this 2017 iMac with Linux Mint 22.2 I   
   could not get my Bluetooth Apple Magic Mouse to work (move the mouse   
   pointer). It said it was paired, but it just would not work (a wired   
   mouse DID move the cursor).   
      
   Any suggestions of how I should identify and correct the problem?   
      
   Thanks.
