Impossibly complex instructions made much easier by OpenCore Legacy Patcher. Ignore this page and use that GUI instead. Trust me.

Apple stops providing support and a download for old hardware. However, it is possible to force an install. The project that is responsible for this magic has achieved something truly spectacular, making it trivially easy using this GUI software.
WARNING: This is an extremely stupid and dangerous process to attempt without reading, understanding, and preparing the whole process up front. See #.spiralofhope.com/83891/opencore-legacy-patcher.html#plan. It really is very easy and works 100% for "only fairly ancient" hardware, but "very ancient" hardware might not be fully supported (yet?).

Getting a Linux ISO working turns out to be trivial, and all the hardware "just works".
I did not bother troubleshooting even a tiny bit. I only wanted my Lubuntu persistence setup to work, and it does. Feel free to comment if you have suggestions or successes.
