Yeah.  Linux will run on anything that will run Windows on Intel.
Which modern Intel Macs will do.  I have such a Mac, and run both
MacOS and Windows on it.  I bet that the new Apple silicon will run
Windows in emulation as well.

Yes, I know.

I'm suggesting that it may be time for a small upgrade, say from the
stone age to the bronze age.  Don't want to rush headlong into
anything, so stop before the iron age.

I also have a windows laptop bought specifically for lab stuff that
MacOs will never do, not even from Win10 running on the iMac (which is
too big to schlepp around my little lab anyway).  Although I can run
LTSpice on the iMac, I could run Spice on the lab laptop as well.
