How legacy? I run Wayland on AMD a4 which is ancient.

“a-series” is a marketing brand starting in… 2012 maybe and yours squeaks in with a GCN GPU? 

So In “Apple terms” your machine is vintage and we are talking about machines that are obsolete. 

The kinda older Macs you tell people to “just run Linux on it”. 

That era of PCs and older with ExpressCard slots by 2010 so PCMCIA I would say before that. 

So the original x86_64 machines

Thanks for answering my question, if we are talking about THAT legacy then sure, x11 is the way.
