it you are looking for an OS that just runs, doesn't receive tons of updates and stay stable as a rock... LMDE will make you fall in love

none my dude, it installs just like it would install on a windows machine. the CPU is just a basic intel i7. It would be a different story if this was one of the newest M1x macs...
Running even Ventura on a ~~2021~~ 2012 mac air is… MEGA slow
it was exactly flashing a windows laptop, no difference whatsoever :)
if you wanted to run macOS on this then yes, it would definitely be ewaste
a simple install of the good old LMDE, everything worked FLAWLESSLY out of the box. It runs even smoother than vanilla Debian
XFce makes them snappy like when they where purchased back in the days?
At this point you could have moved them to Mint LMDE, which has GUI tools to to pretty much anything, and it is essentially Debian with Cinnamon and some extra tools built by the Mint team
Unless you install Chrome OS Flex. If we leave aside the privacy aspect, of course
did not test with classic Mint but LMDE has been rock solid with WiFi
