Been 8 or 9 years since using Linux... [View all]

i have a 2013 model27 inch imac, 3.4 ghz intel core, nvidia geforce graphics, 16 gb ram.

This system currently runs fine, but is no longer supported (updated) by apple.

also … because of software and/or hardware…you cannot use this computer to be a display for a dvd player etc.

i previously used Redhat and Fedora, mostly in a business environment (serving a small lan), and was fairly comfortable with it.

i would like to install linux on this…and also if possible use the screen as a display for a dvd player. and also of course to browse the web.

any distro suggestions?
