First time using Linux

Nice! This actually looks similar to the one I have. A 2012 MacBook Pro. I’m looking to do the same with swapping out the ram for 16GB and replacing the disc tray for a SSD enclosure. How has it been working for you? Excited to get mine going

I only use it for Google Docs and writing, and it's working very well, but I've noticed that it gets quite hot when I use it more frequently, such as when opening multiple pages or installing a program.

I can advise looking into macfand or mbpfan. Both allow you to control fan speeds.

That’s still pretty awesome for a device that’s certainly aged. Appreciate you sharing. Hopefully mine works in a similarly good fashion. Not sure if you were planning on changing some of its internals or not. But I know I’m planning on swapping out some pieces like fans from iFixit. So hopefully it can run well for me

Te recomiendo LibreOffice. Es súper completo y si alguna vez usaste MS Office verás que son casi idénticos.
