Hey hey!
Can you install Lnux Lite on Mac Pro 2009/2010?I'm not sure of the model yet.Also, it has a RAID controller, which could be a problem I guess... :-S
Thanks!

Because, I don't have the computer yet
But, I now know that it will be a Mac Pro Server Mid-2010 (Dual Xeon) with an Apple Raid card, 4TB RAID0 (2x2TB) and 10G RAM.
Also, a Mac Mini Mid-2010 (2.4 Core 2 Duo) will be in the package.
So I was just wondering if anyone else tried Linux Lite on similar systems before I have them in hand in a few days.
(They are stuck in MacOS High Sierra since the hardware is not supported anymore
).

If the CPUS are Intel, shouldn't be a problem. You may have to jump through a few hoops or you may be smooth sailing.
Moved, not a Support request.

Good news!
I didn't try on the Mac Pro / RAID / Mid-2010 yet but...
Everything worked with Linux Lite 5.0 on a Mac Pro Early-2009 (no-RAID and no-Wi-Fi).
** I don't know if I'll INSTALL though, MacOS works and don't want to mess with it. Stuck on Sierra though.
No fiddling, Live worked straight-up!
Was surprise a bit, this Mac (and maybe others?) have really good audio quality.
Almost makes me want to keep it, lol!
I'll check the Mac Mini and more recent Mac Pro laterz.
