I could definitely run Linux on the machine, no doubt it would work even better then. In fact I have an old Ubuntu partition on it that I haven't booted in years, but which worked fine when I last used it.
However, the only purpose that machine serves at the moment is being an x86 Mac with a toolchain for compiling whatever, so that I can quickly compile distributables whenever I need to distribute something for x86 mac and don't want to spend time setting up a full pipeline for cross compiling (once or maybe twice a year).
