My '08 iMac is my actual honest to god main and only computer, it is NOT some toy! The only time it gets turned off is when there's a power outage and it lives to check my emails, manage my finances, manage files and do a lot of legally acquiring and converting DVD backups to x264 from my collection of physical media to get FTP'd to my PS3
I will not install linux on it, linux has shit bcm43xx wireless and amd gpu support making the iMac basically useless, everything that needs the GPU "like webpages and navigating the ui" is either choppy or teary depending on if you enable tearfree and the wifi drops out every 5 minutes with both wl and bcm drivers irregardless of if its compiled or prepackaged
It was cheap and has a nice 1200p screen so I will use it, it is a nice computer and does everything I need it to do in a speedy manner. Its really reliable, I can leave it running doing handbrake encodes for a week straight and it takes it fine
