   For your interest, I am successfully running Linux Mint 22.3 Cinnamon   
   64-bit on a 2008 24 inch iMac and the same on my 2017 27 inch Intel   
   iMac. On the latter I’m running Mint from the Internal 2TB spinning hard   
   drive and running macOS Ventura on an external 1TB SSD.   
      
   Few problems have been experienced – just a wired mouse needed at times   
   and a connecting wire from my wireless keyboard to my computer at the   
   outset. Otherwise, all works as one might hope!
