This is my programming and retro gaming rig. Running LMDE Faye and customized to look as much like the newer MacOS releases as possible (at first glance). The goal: a sleek, elegant system that performs better than elementaryOS.

Much work goes into making linux work completely on one of these boxes, I still haven't gotten my camera working (facetime-hd is a tricksy beast to install and have work) but otherwise I'm thrilled with the project.

Chassis: Macbook Air 6,2
Dist: LMDE 6 (faye)
Arch: x64
GPU: Haswell-ULT (haswell era intel integrated GPU)
RAM: Are you kidding? It's soldered in, no upgrades here. 4GB
Storage: Pictured: 250G SSD, not pictured: 512G sdcard

If anyone has any advice for using debian on this era of intel macbook, I'd appreciate it. Currently I can muster about 6 hours of battery life when just using a browser or word processor, thats fine but I'd like to see if I can stretch it to 8 without replacing my battery yet (battery health at 85%)
