Y'all, I'm running #PopOS on an old 13 inch MacBook Pro. I'm really wanting to upgrade to something new and with a better keyboard but maybe I just replace the battery, repaste the CPU and blow the thing out with canned air and call it good for another 5 years? It feels a smidge slow but I think repasting and canned air will help with heat throttling.
