Could never get the software updater to work properly. The entire system became unusable after attempting to run it.

Flashed a Ubuntu 22 LTS image and installed / updated with no problems. Now attempting to get to 24 LTS by way of the 22 upgrade path.

Fwiw I have good luck with MX Linux, everything works oob on a new install. The only necessary change I make on a new install is to install mbpfan to better control thermals.

That systemd shim layer sounds weird!

I've never had trouble with it. I've ran it on a MBA for ~6 years. It's a decent light Debian spin, with a lot of options. I like the xfce version, but there are other flavors.
