Just installed on a 2013 27” imac 14,1. Went like a dream, even auto installed Broadcom-wl drivers for me. Just have to get used to Pacman and Yay.
Must say I’m impressed that Kernel 617 and Plasma 6.5 are there too!
Time will tell!

Hello @Merlin1 and welcome to the

Enjoy endeavouring :-), @Merlin1
Welcome to the purple side of life! Great choice ![]()
I’ve got EOS loaded on a 2011 MacBookPro laptop and a 2019 iMac desktop. The hardware is great … the Apple eco system eventually sucks, slowly but surely.
So Arch/EOS is an ideal way to bring this hardware back to the present (and future).
The only thing is that Apple introduces increasingly higher walls around its garden, and so getting certain functions to work can take extra effort.
[My current personal challenge: If I upgrade my 2019 iMac to Arch kernel 6.17 from 6.16 I can’t get the audio to work, so I have to keep downgrading and scratching my head. Will continue to work on this.]
Welcome @Merlin1
Did you wipe MacOS?

Hope, you feel fine here.
Adding “options snd-hda-intel model=27_122” to /etc/modprobe.d might help with audio. The headphone skt on mine was non functional until I did this - I use Bose speakers rather than internal ones.
Yes, and reset NVRAM via “CMD+OPT+P+R” after switch-on (a sort of BIOS type thing). Didnt like AppleOS one bit!
Thank-you for the welcomes. ![]()
