A Journey to a 100% Functional Linux Distro on Macbook 4,1 (Early 2008) (I only capitalized these nouns/adjectives because they make up a title.)
Do you know that quiet and dusty (RIP?) macbook 4.1 (white / black, early 2008) that you were planning on throwing out? Do you think we can fix it? ("resurrect" works too, but it sounds a little dramatic.)
My proposal is a clean install of Fedora 26 (released June 2017). In it I assure you that all features (wifi, bluetooth, iSight, keyboard) will be 100% functional.
Brief History:
After a few years with my Macbook 4.1 White, it stopped receiving updates from Apple. The latest version supported was Mac OS 10.7.x Lion and it has not received any more updates on applications and security patches. Some browsers no longer support the release of new versions and the operating system has become virtually obsolete.
The first searches to resurrect the Macbook 4.1 white have been directed towards installing a newer version of Mac OS X, through a forced upgrade of newer versions (not officially supported by Apple) maintained by communities around the world. This solution, besides being complicated, did not leave my Macbook White 100% functional. I then left to search for some Linux distribution that would resurrect/fix/repair my obsolete equipment.
Requirements for reading this post:
Knowledge of the linux world, and preferably of Fedora and Gnome.
1. Install Fedora 26:
The installation of the Fedora is similar for/on any other computer. Download the latest version at fedoraproject.org, create an USB/DVD Live boot, and initiate the installation process (Use the Fedora Media Writer to simplify the process).
If you’ve done other installations, go ahead. Do the installation just like on any other computer. If you're unsure of what you're doing, search for tutorials on/about dualboot mode and other forms of the installation. I recommend an installation full in the disk to simplify the boot configuration and other processes.
Sorry, I had to delete out your entire second step in order to be able to fit in my corrections. But, since most of that section was code, it shouldn't really require editing (at least not in regards to your English, I have no idea about the code).
