Mint 17.2 64-bit Cinnamon on imac 24"

Runs perfectly. Looks amazing!

I have removed OSX and use Mint as my main OS.

Thank you, Clem, and all the Mint developers for an outstanding Linux distro.

How did the installation go?

I have tried to install via USB (DVD is dead). Booted fine but the lack of graphic driver caused the installation to stop. Only Ubuntu 15.04 based distro seem to install. I'm on an iMac 2007.

I installed with a USB (dd). Install was nice. I deleted everything on hd. Made it a msdos device, partied and then installed. It is fast.

Thanks for the reply. I will continue to try, though I must assume your model of iMac has a different graphics card. My model has a AMD Radeon.

I have the AMD Radeon HD 2600 XT resolution 1920x1200. Intel Core2 Duo 2.4 Ghz.

Actually, I have been playing with Arch Linux on my laptop and I am really liking it. Super fast and no problems. I'm also using i3 instead of Cinnamon.
