These are avaialble without having to install Linux on your Mac.ĭepending on the type of apps you are currently using under OS X 10.5.8, for later versions of OS X, their ARE both free, open source options and cheaper pay options for many older, pricey apps that no longer work on OS X 10.7 Lion and later OS X versions. If you are running older, expensive software under OS X 10.5.8 Leopard, it will continue to run under OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard, due to OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard's use of a special IBM PowerPC emulation software that was part of OS X 10.6, but is no longer part of later OS X versions. That OP is making confusing and conflicting recommendations. You do not, necessarily, need to run Linux. Older Mac Machines are very nice and still work great so preserve them and their functionallity with Linux. OS X is Based on Linux version called BSD.

How to Create a Bootable USB Stick on Mac OS X Almost anything you need can be found on Linux. If you need a program like MicroSoft Office you can use Open Office or Libre Office which comes preinstalled with most Linux Distributions. Linux Mint is the Most used Linux Distro and is based on Ubuntu which has the largest repository of free open source programs available. This is a great way to test and then use if you like or delete if you don't and try another option. You can also run Linux Mint Live from a USB stick instead of installing it to your Hard Drive. If you want it to look like Mac OS X you can then install the macbuntu package. I would Suggest using Bootcamp to create another bootable partition and install Linux Mint (Cinnamon, Mate, KDE, XFCE). I prefer Linux Mint but you can try any distribution. If you find that you can not upgrade to Yosemite due to all of your installed Programs not being compatible or have to spend a lot of money to upgrade them I would suggest installing a Linux Distribution. OS X - Upgrade to Yosemite - Apple Support

However, some Software Features will not work.
