I Revived a “Dead” 2010 MacBook Air with Linux — Still Usable in 2025?

I got this completely dead 2010 MacBook Air back to life using Linux Mint XFCE — and it's actually usable in 2025! This 15-year-old laptop couldn't even load ChatGPT with macOS. Modern browsers, office packages, and most apps were unsupported. But after installing Linux, everything changed. Now it runs: ✅ Modern Firefox & Chrome ✅ Office packages ✅ Zoom & video conferencing ✅ Smooth web browsing ✅ YouTube & streaming I'll share the installation process, the Wi-Fi driver issue I fixed, and whether this old hardware is worth reviving. Unlike my 2013 MacBook Air (which still has quirks), this 2010 model has ZERO issues after Linux installation.
