Is it all gone after this?

Which is the fastest and most optimized systemd/linux distro? Browsing through random benchmarks seem to indicate that not all are about the same.

gentoo

I have a macbook pro 15 (2006) and it is still working, to this day, however It is no longer possible to update OS to the most recent, so certain programs stopped supporting its OS... But laptop is still in perfect condition (apart from some paint scrapped from this button which unlocks screen, and the battery is dead).

So, how to reviwe it? I still want to see MacOS desktop looks, so is there a lightweight linux distro which can be installed, with MacOS desktop environment? Something stable!

I tried manjaro.
I installed mpv, but I can't play videos because of a libadvice error.
I also couldn't install shinjiru (an anilist updater).

Should I just install debian?

yes.

Alright. It's really depressing how though, I hoped that with manjaro things would work out of the box.

Hackintosh?

Please recommend me a lightweight alternative to XFCE. Tired of the bugs.
