I have a mid-2010 MacBookPro (17 inch) that's currently running macOS Sierra. It has 8gigs of RAM and a 1TB HDD, but it's extremely slow to boot (takes around ten minutes actually).
Also, Opera and Firefox launch immediately and run fine, but Safari, upon launch, keeps bouncing in the dock for around 5-6 minutes before it launches, and even then, beachballs for a few minutes before letting me type anything into the URL bar. And when it does let me type, it echoes even keystroke in slo motion and keeps beach balling for a long time before I am able to use Safari.
Please note this happens only with Safari. Other browsers launch immediately and are usable immediately.
So, with all this happening, I am considering trashing macOS from that machine and install Linux Mint on it.
Now comes the issue:
I also have an iMac which has all my data and media. What I do is, I turn on the MacBook Pro, go to Finder, click on the iMac (under shared computers) and login with my ID and password, and then drag files (movies or TV shows etc.) from the iMac onto the MacBook Pro to watch in my living room.
Now, since both machines run macOS, this step is seamless. However, were I to move the MacBook Pro over to Linux, I need to know how to basically do the same thing. I would like to open my Linux MBPro, "see" the iMac, go to my folder there, and drag files onto the Linux MBPro.
I tried googling, but all the info I found are either very very old (2006, 2008 etc.) and talk about Samba etc., or talk about virtual machines on the same physical machine.
I was wondering if some of you might be able to give me some pointers on how to accomplish this, or at least direct me to some proper documentation or instructions on how to do this.
Thanks and cheers
