I have a MacBookPro (late 2008). I created 2 partitions on the disk. In the first partition i installed OpenCore Legacy patcher and that allowed me to install MacOS Ventura. In the second partition i installed Linux Mint XFCE. Everything is supported and works fine under Mint & Ventura - even the ancient iSight camera on these macbooks!

I tried this today but never got to the install page. I did get the initial black screen asking to select try or install. Then the pink jelly fish. Unfortunately it then reverted to a black screen with lots of fail messages saying remove installation drive and press enter. Removing the drive without any possibility to unmount crashed the MacBook Pro. Any clues?

Hardware that does not support will result in heat, and the motherboard will turn off completely without fan rotation like the usual light damage. I used to try it in 2022 with the latest macos. The fan keeps spinning because the processor already knows. Want to use 16GB ram and SSD won’t last your machine long

I think you should have put more effort into a video like this. It's ultra low effort and doesn't communicate any valuable information on issues that people typically run into in this process. You don't talk about SIP. You don't explain the commands you're running. I don't think you actually know what you're talking about. The giveaway for that was "this should work with any linux distro." That is completely false. If you don't believe me, make this same video for gentoo, arch, etc; actually show the process and test the machine afterwards. This video is misleading and a normie will probably run into an issue that they have no idea how to begin solving. That is one way to learn, but there is more to this than presented here.

"This should work with nearly any Linux distribution" is the actual statement. 'Should' being the operative word. Nothing misleading or completely false. The video does not claim to be a super in-depth video, he shows how to install ubuntu on an old Macbook Pro. His process worked perfectly for me using ubuntu.

I'm considering to install Linux over my MacBook Pro Late 2013... That's because it doesn't support anymore the latest OSX versions nor package manager like HomeBrew. The machine is still ok and I am very upset about this situation (typical Apple crap policy).. Do you think it makes sense? A 10 years old Mac can be considered "an old Mac" by your opinion? What about using a disk partition instead? :)

The problem seems to be the video card it's a GT 650M that works together with intell HD Graphics. My first advice for if you install linux is after the installation make that the grub menu always shows on boot, else it can be a real pain to get into recovery mode. As of now I tried to fix my laptop all evening and I might switch back to osx sadly enough.
