Picked up this old Mac my Dad had, tried to load up Debian on it since it kept crashing. Issue is the thing kept crashing and now I’m without an OS. Anyone know how to fix it? Pic related

What does dmesg say when you boot up? Was it crashing in OSX too? What do you mean when you say crashing? Locking up?

Check for cooling issues.
Is the hard drive any good or is it going bad?
Check the RAM, run a memory test, reseat the ram, or boot the system up with a bare amount of (in pairs of 2) memory then keep adding.

What kind of sound does it make when booting up?

Most probable is bad ram, you have to run OSX to read the hardware logs.
